Winter Holidays / Christmas WebQuest & Activities | Distance Learning
By Innovations in Technology
Three short activities with a Winter Holiday theme that your middle school students will love! Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are covered in a WebQuest / Internet Scavenger Hunt that help students understand the traditions of the different holidays.
There's also two activities that don't require computers: a word search puzzle with a Winter Holiday theme and a fun "How Many Words Can You Make?" activity that is great to play as a competition with teams.
Created for middle school, these lessons will work for upper elementary as well. Each lesson takes approximately one (50 minute) class period.
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.
