This is a Christmas/Holiday Activity designed for Elementary Students. Students will be creating their own Christmas House! Students will cut out the shapes, color, and glue together their house however they like. It includes a house, roof, chimney, tree, ornaments, and more! There is also an added writing activity, where students can describe their house! This would be a great product to do in the weeks leading up to Christmas. It would look great hanging up or outside the classroom, and if you include the writing activity, then some good practice with descriptive writing!

What’s Included and What's Needed??

An outline of the house, roof, chimney, tree, ornaments, gifts, and other decorations are included. Your students will need scissors and glue. I would recommend also having them clue everything onto a piece of construction paper.

Writing Activity

The writing activity can be used as a way to integrate this with ELA. There are 2 different writing activity papers. One is for younger students (k-2) with larger lines, and students can describe their house with basic adjectives like the color and shape. The other is for older students (3-5) with less space between the lines, and students can describe their house, going into more detail with their description and even describing why they chose to design it the way they did!

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This fun and engaging gift wrapping station themed pretend play center encourages students to play imaginary roles of helping Santa wrap gifts. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine/gross motor skills, and social skills.

What is dramatic play?

It’s the kind of play where kids take on roles and act them out as a way of exploring themselves and their surroundings. By pretending to be someone—or something—else, children can learn new ways to express themselves, share thoughts and ideas, and even get in touch with their feelings.

Dramatic play is a very important part of childhood development. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and social skills. They will be interacting with one another in positive ways and learning so much without realizing it!

Here's what you'll get:

• Welcome to Santa's Workshop Sign
• Open/Closed Signs
• Wrapping Choices
• Ready for Pickup Sign
• Foldable Cash Register
• Wrapping Station Hours Sign
• Supply Labels - scissors, tape, box, bag, wrapping paper, gift tag, ribbon, bow
• Position Tags - Gift Wrapper, Cashier, Manager, Customer
• 3 Different Wrapping Papers
• Gift Wrapping Order Forms

All of the hard work is done for you. Simply print the LOW PREP pages and laminate for use year after year.

You can add hard goods to make it more interactive. For example, wrapping paper, tape, scissors, small boxes, gift bags, and tissue paper!

Celebrate the Christmas season with this engaging communal story-telling activity!

"Christmas Collaborative Story Time" is a communal story-telling activity in which students practice using Freytag's Pyramid plot structure in their own narrative writing. In this activity, each student begins a story inspired by a unique Christmas picture or photograph. They are prompted to write the exposition of the tale by introducing the setting and main characters. After the allotted amount of time, the story is then passed to another student who is prompted to write the inciting incident or conflict and begin to detail the rising action. The paper is passed from student to student twice more until the story is resolved. When the stories are finished, the worksheet is returned to the original student who can then make edits and is responsible for producing a final draft.

With this intrinsically engaging activity, each student has the chance to tap into their creativity while applying knowledge of the 7 steps of Freytag's Pyramid. It is a great activity to introduce or reinforce the plot diagram and is perfect for getting students in the Christmas spirit. Since it runs itself, the lesson is also great for substitute plans or on those days when you need a quick plan to get you through the day. I trust you will find that your students will ask for this activity again and again!

Product Includes:

• 35 unique "Collaborative Story Time" worksheets with Christmas pictures and photographs (2-sided)
• 1 blank worksheet so that you may include your own picture or photograph

This fun and engaging gingerbread house and sweets shop themed pretend play center encourages students to play imaginary roles of building a gingerbread house and operating a sweets shop. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine/gross motor skills, and social skills.

What is dramatic play?

It’s the kind of play where kids take on roles and act them out as a way of exploring themselves and their surroundings. By pretending to be someone—or something—else, children can learn new ways to express themselves, share thoughts and ideas, and even get in touch with their feelings.

Dramatic play is a very important part of childhood development. Students will engage in literacy, self-regulation, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and social skills. They will be interacting with one another in positive ways and learning so much without realizing it!

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Sweet Shop Menu
• Hours Sign
• Open and Closed Signs
• Order Here, Pay Here Signs
• Pretend Money
• Gumball Machine Sign
• Gingerbread Men and Houses to Color

All of the hard work is done for you. Simply print and cut out the LOW PREP pages and laminate them for use year after year.

Optionally you can add hard goods to make it more interactive. For example, fake candy, fake cookies, bowls for decoration, and boxes/bags for orders!

Are you looking for some fun learning worksheets and activities to go along with your Gingerbread Man story? This resource has several math, language and writing worksheets along with a BONUS fun write the room activity. Just print, laminate, cut and hang the words and picture cards around the room. Students walk around the room and write the words they find. Then they use some of those words to retell the story of The Gingerbread Man. There is a space at the top for them to illustrate as well. There are 15 gingerbread themed worksheets.
