Do you need ways to keep your students engaged and working on academic skills this holiday season? Check out my activities and worksheets for December. Plus a Christmas freebie. These resources include differentiated, worksheets & activities which incorporate math, literacy, writing, handwriting, social-emotional learning, fine motor, and visual perceptual skills. These activities are great for writing centers, math stations, early finishers, occupational therapy sessions, emergency sub plans, and more.

I use stickers and sorting activities with every theme throughout the year. Here are a few of the ones I use this time of year.

Here are a few simple craft ideas for this December. I will add an extra fine motor component by having my students sew the buttons on the Christmas Tree cup.

Do your students enjoy Boom Cards™? I use my Brain Break Boom Cards™ as a warm-up and my Build a Picture sets as a reward at the end of a session. They think they are playing a game and I know they are still working on skill-building.

So many more Christmas and Winter ideas for this time of year can be found in my TpT store and in my store on Boom Learning. I have a variety of no-prep, print & go as well as digital options in my stores. Many of my TpT resources are already modified and can be uploaded to your Digital Classroom using the TpT digital tool called EASEL. I hope you can find something to save you time and add a little fun to you and your student’s day. Feel free to email me with questions or requests. Thank you for your interest in my resources.
