Engaging Christmas Writing Crafts and Activities for Your Classroom

The weeks leading up to winter break can be magical, hectic, amazing, crazy – all of the above! I’ve found that the best way to harness that excitement while still celebrating the season is to treat students to fun and engaging Christmas writing crafts and activities! The best part is that students get creative writing practice while making adorable and festive decor for your classroom or hallway. Win-win! So, here are some of my favorite, low-prep craftivities for that most wonderful time of year.

Your students will be fascinated by all that they learn with the ever popular Christmas Around the World Activities and PowerPoint!

Christmas Party Scoot Classroom Activity

Let’s switch gears a bit from writing crafts to a completely different classroom activity.

Get your students active and engaged with this non-stop fun classroom game! The Christmas Party Scoot Activity is perfect for your class holiday party or those days leading up to winter break. It works great for kindergarten through 5th grade. Students move from card-to-card at different stations placed throughout the classroom. Play holiday music while students perform the action on the card for 10-15 seconds. And when the music stops, they move on to the next station. You can adjust the duration to fit whatever time slot you have. So get ready for tons of laughs and awesome memories with this activity!
