Instructional Ideas

  • Pick and choose your favorites for some holiday fun
  • For the crafts, allow kids to choose from several options or have each craft set up at a station and have learners work their way around the room

Classroom Considerations

  • While some of the resources are on older websites, and some of the images are a bit fuzzy, the ideas are still strong
  • Some of the links within the plan that provide the original source for an activity no longer function; the instructions are still included in this resource

Pros

  • Includes song lyrics and pictures of various crafts for your class to create as well as links to additional resources

Cons

  • None
