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.

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.

By Language Arts Excellence
Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching with a lesson that your students will be talking about for years to come with O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi ESCAPE ROOM!
There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Escape Room for The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this fun lesson near a sugar-filled holiday, learning is not sacrificed. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!
How does it work?
The ghost of O. Henry has returned from the grave and is upset because he believes that people nowadays care too much about getting expensive gifts at Christmas and no longer understand the true importance and wisdom of the magi. He has decided to destroy Christmas forever, unless your students can show their knowledge of the short story and in turn, recall the lessons that Jim and Della learned themselves not so long ago.
Product Includes:
- Escape Room Basics
- Detailed Day-Of Instructions
- Escape Room Print & Classroom Preparation Checklist
- Student Teams Chart
- Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs to be folded upright, task instructions (2 per page for easy printing), and necessary information to be kept at stations

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. 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!

French Noël - Christmas Speaking Activity - Vocabulary - Communication Orale
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
Looking for a fun and engaging way to practice speaking about Noël - Christmas in French with your core and immersion students? Wish you had a way to improve la communication orale in your French class? This is the activity you've been looking for!
These French speaking prompt cards are perfect for reinforcing grammar, vocabulary, and getting your students to speak French together! Very low prep. Just print and cut out the cards and you're ready to go! Check out my Noël - French Taboo Speaking Game for another fun way to get your students speaking about this theme.
30 question cards are included. Almost all of the est-ce que questions are asked in the tu form and require students to reply using je. Some of the questions encourage oui and non responses, but never without pushing for a bit more information like asking pourquoi. The questions include le présent, le passé composé et le futur proche.
This resource is included in my French Noël Bundle.
Included:
All cards are visually stimulating and feature a circle to punch out in the upper left corner so that you can print, laminate, cut out, punch holes and hook the cards together with a ring. Using these cards this way makes it easy to pull them out year after year to use as NO PREP speaking activities.
Read about all of my Christmas resources for the French classroom.
There are many ways you can use this set of speaking cards:
➤ Print, cut out, laminate , punch holes and attach on a ring for small groups to ask and answer questions.
➤ Use as a warm-up speaking activity with a conversation partner. As students enter the classroom have them choose 2-3 cards from a box.
➤ Students who finish their work earlier than others can choose a few of the cards and write out correct answers to false statements.
➤ Use as exit tickets. Give each student a card before the end of class and as they walk out of the room they tell the teacher their answer.
➤ Stations: Put students into groups and divide the cards amongst them. Have groups rotate to a new station as they finish the cards.
➤ Scoot: Put one card on each desk in the classroom. Give each student a response sheet and set a timer to give them just enough time to answer true or false and to correct the false statements. When the timer rings students move on to the next desk and the next question. All cards are numbered so it is simple to stay organized. Full instructions are included.
➤ Use the cards with board games. Students must answer a question in order to move.
➤ Use the cards as an icebreaker activity at the beginning of the school year or right after school holidays.
➤ Great resource for tutoring sessions and vocabulary building.
