Winter Holiday Activity Bundle - Cards, Video, WebQuest & Pixel Art Lessons
By Innovations in Technology
Three great Winter Holiday Lessons (each is also sold separately):
LESSON #1 Winter Holiday Christmas Cards - Video, eCards & Paper
***************************************************************************
The Winter Holiday Greeting Card Unit gives teachers and students three fun options to choose from to create a holiday project to share. Tutorials and projects are included for:
• Video eCard utilizing Kizoa (www.kizoa.com)
• Animated greeting card utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint
• Printable paper card, designed in Microsoft Word
Kizoa is a free Web 2.0 tool which allows students to create and edit videos online, as well as create ecards, photo collages, and edit photos. They can then share their finished product online or by saving it to their computer. No download is required to use the product, making it easy for teachers who are not able to download software on classroom computers to still give their students a choice in learning. The quick start tutorial included with the lesson is intended to help students get started with the program and then use the resources within the program to refine their creations. General project instructions and expectations, along with a grading rubric are also included.
They can also utilize Microsoft PowerPoint to create an animated greeting card. A complete, step-by-step instruction guide is included, along with the project expectations and rubric.
The third option is a more traditional paper card, created in Microsoft Word. A complete, step-by-step instruction guide is included, along with the project expectations and rubric.
Choose one for your students or let them choose! This is a great activity for that week before Winter Break

Winter Themed Digital Escape Room
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is an engaging digital breakout room that is NO PREP! Students will enjoy this digital breakout website that has them solve four logic puzzles to find all the necessary keys to unlock the locks which is forcing a giant snow machine to cause blizzards all over the world. Students will use the Google Form that's embedded in the website to fill in their guesses for the passwords. They will get an immediate response on whether their guess was correct, (which will allow them to go to the next rooms submission), or tell them to try again. This website is great for struggling readers as well because an AI avatar is able to read all directions/information aloud to the student if needed.
