Instructional Ideas

• Include in a homework packet over winter break
• Have class members complete the activity as an exit ticket after a lesson on parts of speech

Classroom Considerations

• Uses traditional Christmas holiday imagery (e.g. candy canes, stockings, holly)
• Though nouns on the worksheet are not intended to match the images, the discrepancy may be confusing to some learners
• Each candy cane uses a different pattern; clarify this use to class members who are trying for a more common striped pattern 

Pros

• Promotes both language arts skills and coloring skills
• Produces a lovely piece of holiday artwork

Cons

• Contains a typo in the instructions that cannot be changed
