Design and Build a Gingerbread House in Sketchup (Christmas / Winter Holiday)

By Innovations in Technology

The “Designing & Constructing a Gingerbread House” project utilizes teamwork and Sketchup (free CAD software download) to allow students to design and build a gingerbread house to scale. Students work individually to create a scale model drawing of a gingerbread house using Sketchup (CAD) and then brainstorm with their team to determine the best design to build from provided materials with the goal of building the most attractive and creative gingerbread house. Two options are given for building the actual house from recycled materials or from actual edible gingerbread. Finally, they reflect on their learning and the dynamics of their team to complete the project.

The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for younger or older students.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

All I Want for Christmas, Mariah Carey (REMIX) - BUCKET DRUMMING!

By Jason Litt

Right in time for your Christmas instrumentalists, we present to you Mariah Carey's smash hit All I Want For Christmas is You - REMIX for BUCKET DRUMMING!

There are eight all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are grouped 3x + 1x with a few 2 and 4 measure repeats). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

The track is INCLUDED with this one, so no need to search it off of YouTube

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Terms of Use:

All images/photos/clip art in this resource were created by me.

Christmas Collaborative Writing Activity

By Language Arts Excellence

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.

I trust you will find that your students will ask for this activity again and again!

Christmas - I'd Rather Activity

By Love Learning Languages - French Resources

✮ Christmas - I'd rather game for primary and secondary ✮

This resource includes two sets of 35 I'd rather cards. You get a total of 70 cards for the price of one set. One set is for primary and the other set is for secondary. A few of the cards are the same as they can appeal to different age groups. You may want to mix them all up and use all of the cards as a big set for secondary (taking out the doubles).

These sets of cards will strike up some interesting conversations, and they can be used year after year. These cards are a fun way to get students talking to each other during the holidays, and they're great fun at a Christmas party. This resource is part of my Christmas, Winter, and New Year's Resource Bundle which will save you TONS and provide you with lots of resources to use over and over again. Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Escape Room Bundle | BOOM Cards™ Digital & Print Versions

By Creative Primary Literacy

A BOOM Cards™ Escape Room Activity & a printable Escape Room Activity about the traditions of Christmas around the world. The NO PREP activities are ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in fifth grade or sixth grade.

Both activities have been split into four different tasks; your students will need to complete each of the tasks to reveal a word. Together the four words make a phrase for them to escape the room.

The resources are great for:

  • Distance learning
  • Independent work
  • Homework
  • Guided reading sessions
  • Team building lessons
  • Emergency sub plans
  • Reading interventions

The digital, BOOM Cards version is ideal for distance learning and the activity can be completed on tablets, phones or computers. The printable version comes in PDF format perfect for printing or uploading.

⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻⎻

For first time BOOM Card™ users, the resource comes with an explanation of how to assign the cards to your class, and has lots of useful links to support you using the activity.

Both activities follow a similar format, with slight variances to the BOOM Cards version to allow the resource to be digital and self-marking.

In Task 1 students will read an informational text about Christmas and then find their way through a maze by answering true or false comprehension questions. If they answer the questions correctly they will reveal their first word.

In Task 2 students will complete a crossword puzzle by answering ten questions. Answering these questions correctly will reveal some hidden letters which need to be unscrambled to reveal the second word.

In Task 3 students will sort 27 timeline task cards about famous holidays, putting them in order from the earliest date in the year to the latest. When they have finished their third word will be revealed.

In Task 4 students will have to find the missing words in a wordsearch puzzle before finding a hidden word from the letters that are left over in the puzzle. This hidden word is their fourth and final word.

  • Distance Learning Resources
  • U.S. History Resources
