We all know that in December it’s difficult to keep students focused on learning something new. So that means it’s a great time to incorporate Christmas activities and puzzles in those restless weeks before winter break. You want your students to have fun, but you still want them to do meaningful and brain-building activities that will encourage learning. These activities have you covered! From grammar review and writing activities, to puzzles that get students thinking and problem solving, your students will get in the holiday spirit while reviewing and practicing important concepts.

Get started with this fun FREE color-by-code puzzle. With this activity, students will practice a variety of grammar concepts as they color in the Christmas puzzle.

With this fun Christmas word search puzzle, your students will first build the list from picture clues, and then find the words in the puzzle. The answer to a Christmas riddle is revealed after the puzzle is completed. This is a little more challenging than the typical word search, and it gives an opportunity to focus on spelling and vocabulary rather than just looking for words in the puzzle from a given list.
