$5 - $10 Holidays/Seasonal PowerPoint Presentations (by date, oldest first)

Every year there's that ONE holiday toy that captures the hearts of kids and sends parents off to the store to grab the last one. This mini unit covers the history of Christmas toys through four decades (some of which you will remember!). The unit is divided into three parts and relies heavily on student research. The parts can be done at your own pace over the course of a week or over several weeks.

Part One

-Includes two reading passages, one about the history of holiday gift giving and one about the rise of the toy industry.

-Research Project: Students are given four worksheets, one for each of the decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and they must research toy trends for each decade

Part Two

-All of part two is in the included PowerPoint. This covers holiday advertising, starting with the early days of ads, through the department store catalog, and into modern television commercials.

-There are three links to toy commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s to watch with students

Part Three

-In part three, students will conduct an interview with an older friend or family member about their own holiday toy memories

-Final Project: Students pick one of three final projects to complete. Each project relates back to a different part of the unit.

This unit is geared towards a classroom, but is easily adapted to a homeschooler...in fact, I originally created it for mine! Every research activity is done solo and the PowerPoint can easily be used just for one or a handful of kiddos. This is also easily adaptable, in case you want to change anything for your students, but is no-prep, ready to go, as it is!

Students will work in collaborative groups. Each team will need a whiteboard to write their answers on. Each "Hint" slide includes five hints, one displayed at a time until all hints are presented. Each team will be given 10 seconds to write their answer on answer on the board. When the teacher says, "Jingle bells." All teams show their answers. Each team that guesses the correct answer will receive a token.

Note: A map for each team may be of some help. Have fun! I know your students will. For middle school and high school.

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Students will be assigned a team.
• As the hints appear on each slide, teammates will determine what country to which the hints are referring.
• You will write your answer on your whiteboard.
• Once all 5 hints are presented, you will have 10 seconds to write the name of the country on your whiteboard.
• The instructor will say “Jingle Bells,” communicating that you may show your answer.
• Each team that gets the answer correct will receive a token.
• At the end of the trivia game, the team that has the most tokens wins!

Bring some seasonal fun into your classroom with Oops! Autumn Edition, a taboo-like game designed to challenge students' vocabulary while keeping them engaged. This interactive game will boost team collaboration, communication, and critical thinking—all while having fun! Perfect for middle school and high school students, this fall-themed activity is ideal for classroom warm-ups, brain breaks, or seasonal events.

Objective of Oops:
In this game, students work together to guess a word while avoiding specific "Oopsies" (taboo words). The clue giver provides hints without saying any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser has one minute to guess the word based on the given clues. If the clue giver says an "Oopsie," they lose a point!

What's Included:

• Teachers Guide with step-by-step instructions on how to play
• PDF Version of the game featuring a clickable game selection board and a return-to-board button on every "Oops" card
• Printable Game Tracking Sheet to keep track of points and rounds
• Online Game Versions with timers:
  • 40-second timer version
  • 1-minute timer version

How It Works:
Players pick a number from the game selection board to reveal a word and the associated "Oopsies." The clue giver describes the word without using any of the "Oopsies," while the guesser, seated with their back to the screen, tries to figure it out. You can easily track scores using the provided tracking sheet. After the set time, the next team takes a turn.

Why You'll Love It:

• No Prep Needed – Just download and play!
• Interactive and Engaging – Perfect for building vocabulary and teamwork skills.
• Seasonal Fun – Add an autumn twist to your classroom activities.

Get ready to hear your students laugh, learn, and compete in this engaging game. Great for autumn-themed lessons, Thanksgiving prep, or classroom celebrations!

This product includes everything you need for an entertaining and educational experience that students will love.

What's Included:

• Teacher's Guide: Detailed instructions to set up and play the game effortlessly.
• PDF Game Version: A clickable game selection board and "Oops" cards, each with a unique Halloween word and its "Oopsies." Each card has a clickable logo to return to the selection board, making navigation smooth and easy.
• Printable Game Tracking Sheet: Track scores and keep the game competitive and organized.
• Online Game Versions: Two versions with integrated timers – one with a 40-second timer and another with a 1-minute timer on each "Oops" card/slide.

Objective of the Game: The goal is simple: get your teammates to guess the Halloween-themed word without using any of the "Oopsies."

How to Play:

1. The clue giver selects a number from the game selection board, revealing the word and its "Oopsies."
2. Describe the word without saying any of the "Oopsies" while your teammates guess.
3. Earn points for each correct guess within the time limit, but watch out—using an "Oopsie" will cost you points!

Perfect For:

• Halloween-themed classroom activities
• Vocabulary building and language skills
• Team-building and cooperative learning
• Holiday parties and classroom fun
