For Any Grade Christmas, Chanukah, & Kwanzaa Cultural Activities (by date, oldest first)

Looking for a fun way to spruce up your classroom for Christmas?! Look no further!

This resource will guide you in creating a balloon-popping advent adventure for your students in middle school. Featuring 21 activities to choose from, including explanations, materials, time frames and step-by-step instructions for set-up of the calendar and activities, your students will get jazzed every day for what they "pop!"

A mixture of "free" activities (i.e. paper, pencils, scissors and glue - at most!) and other options which involve purchasing (i.e. graham cracker gingerbread houses and marshmallow snowmen) will allow you the flexibility to choose the duration of this advent calendar, the frequency of the "popping" and will allow you to choose options within your budget and time constraints.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hope you have fun!

A brief overview of Kwanzaa:

Kwanzaa is an annual celebration that emphasizes African family values and social principles, primarily recognized in the United States from December 26 to January 1. The celebration and its name were founded in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, an Africana studies professor at California State University, Long Beach, and an influential figure in Afrocentrism. Karenga derived the term kwanza, signifying "first," from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, incorporating an extra a as the seventh letter to guarantee it contained sufficient letters for each of the seven children who were present at a previous celebration. The word Kwanzaa does not exist in Swahili. The concept of Kwanzaa originates from first-fruits celebrations in Southern Africa.
