Juego de mesa de Navidad con 94 adivinanzas y acertijos
By Ms Garcia Store
No olvides que este juego de mesa se juega con el modo presentación de PowerPoint.
¿Quién no ama los clásicos juegos de mesa? Esta es una adaptación navideña de uno de ellos. Tira los dados y mueve tu ficha. Intenta ser el primero en llegar exactamente a la casilla 36 y no caer en las bombas ya que te harán retroceder. Si aterrizas al comienzo de las flechas avanzarás muchas casillas. Si aterrizas en el primer sombrero, te llevará al segundo sombrero, pero si aterrizas en el segundo, te llevará de regreso al primero. No es necesario saberse las reglas pues al caer en una de estas casillas se activará automáticamente la animación que mueva tu ficha al lugar que le corresponda.
Pueden jugar de 1 a 4 jugadores o grupos de jugadores. Mi consejo es dividir la clase en 2, 3 o 4 grupos. Después de cada movimiento de la ficha, trata de responde uno de los 94 acertijos que aparecerán aleatoriamente al hacer clic en las cartas de preguntas. Cada grupo dará su respuesta por consenso y el grupo que la acierte, o que más se acerque a su respuesta correcta, será el que continúe el juego tirando los dados nuevamente. Si el acertijo es demasiado difícil para el nivel de su grupo, vuelva a hacer clic en las tarjetas de preguntas y saldrá una nueva.
Los acertijos son editables y, por lo tanto, se pueden cambiar con preguntas de las lecciones que se está dando, pero no elimine los cuadros de texto si no desea eliminar sus animaciones.
Los acertijos para niños pueden:
Mejora la comprensión lectora.
Les ayuda a concentrarse y prestar más atención.
Impulsa la resolución de problemas y el pensamiento crítico.
Fortalece las habilidades y conciencia lingüística.
Promueve el pensamiento analítico y el razonamiento deductivo.
Los acertijos también pueden mejorar el estado de ánimo de tus estudiantes, hacerlos reír y darles una sensación de logro.

12 Days of Christmas Yoga Cards
By Lara Hocheiser
Sing and flow through one of our favorite yoga holiday songs!
This activity was one I did when I first started teaching yoga to children. When I noticed how mystified the children were with the holiday season, a colleague of mine suggested pairing a pose with each of the 12 Days of Christmas. You can play the song alone, you can sing the song as you do the poses, or you can practice the poses one at a time and simply enjoy the song afterward.
It’s super fun to try to remember which pose goes with which verse and to have the children attempt to teach it back in order.
If you’re concerned about this material not being secular, use caution. This is best practiced in environments where mentioning and celebrating Christmas is welcomed.
Printable Christmas Yoga CardsSing along and learn twelve (12) yoga poses. Print and cut out our twelve (12) yoga cards and use them in the classroom, yoga studio, or at home! Also included are written instructions for kids, giving cues for children to correctly practice each pose. And additional yoga card games that kids will love!
Mindfulness, Crafts, and Coloring Pages for Kids
Use our mindfulness activities, crafts, and coloring pages when kids need a moment to be calm and focused. We created holiday-themed activities that kids can enjoy in their free time, as brain breaks, transitional activities and more.
This packet includes:
Twelve (12) printable yoga cards
Five (5) holiday mindfulness activities
How-to instruction for each activity, written for kids
Five (5) holiday-themed coloring pages
Journaling pages with prompts for kids
12 Days of Yoga is a 37 page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

Holiday Toy Trends Mini Research Unit
By Three Little Homeschoolers
Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.
Part One
-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.
-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade
Part Two
-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.
-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students
Part Three
-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories
-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.
This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!
