Available Free Christmas-Themed Educational Resources
According to the provided documentation, several free educational resources are available for download. These resources are hosted on the Teachers Pay Teachers platform and cover various subject areas including language arts, mathematics, and speech therapy.
Language Arts and Literacy Resources
Source [1] describes three specific freebies designed to maintain student engagement during the holiday season. The first is a Christmas Idioms Scavenger Hunt, which requires teachers to hide cards around the room for students to find and define common idioms in context. The second is a Christmas Multiplication Memory Game focusing on multiplication facts for twos and threes, where students match equations to arrays and products. The third resource is a Christmas Equivalent Fractions Scavenger Hunt intended for practice in finding equivalent fractions.
Source [2] provides details on a free product consisting of eight black and white Christmas cards. These cards feature greetings such as "Merry Christmas," "Season's Greetings," and "Happy Holidays." The instructions indicate that students are to fold the cards on the printed line, color the pictures, and then draw a picture or write a message inside for family members, friends, or teachers. The source notes a technical requirement for printing: selecting "scale to fit paper" for optimal results.
Source [3] references a free Christmas readers' theater poetry script titled "Santa's Socks" for students in grades 3 through 6. The source mentions that the full packet, which includes various math games and other activities, is available for purchase, but the "Santa's Socks" script is identified as a free component. The source also mentions a free Santa Claus directed drawing activity from a December Directed Drawing Pack intended for grades K-4.
Source [4] details a free sequencing printable that corresponds with the book Bear Stays Up for Christmas by Karma Wilson. The resource includes answers for the teacher. The source also mentions the availability of felt board images, Venn diagrams for compare and contrast activities, and other materials related to the book, though it is not explicitly stated whether all these additional items are free or part of a paid product.
Mathematics Resources
Source [5] lists several free math-related resources. One is a sorting mat activity for younger students, featuring 10 mats for sorting gingerbread men by color. Another is a "Multiplication Facts Color By Number: Christmas Edition" free sample, which includes one mystery picture activity for practicing multiplication facts, accompanied by a teacher-coded answer key. Additionally, the source mentions Christmas design pages that include a title page, activities for decorating a Christmas tree, designing wrapping paper, and designing elf outfits or ornaments. The source also mentions a free December "freebee" from Clever Classroom that includes Christmas word searches and a coloring page, with variations for British-English spelling.
Speech Therapy and Special Education Resources
Source [6] focuses on free resources for speech therapy. One resource is described as a Christmas craft where students decorate a Christmas tree with ornaments containing articulation pictures. A free sample of this activity targets the /l/ sound in initial, medial, and final positions. The instructions suggest the materials can be laminated for repeated use or cut out and glued/taped to a tree or other objects. The source also mentions a free Christmas-themed articulation packet targeting the initial and final /k/ sounds. This packet includes colored and black-and-white smash mats for low-prep or no-prep therapy sessions.
Calendar and Language Activities
Source [7] mentions a set of free yearly updates for language-loaded calendar activities. Specifically, it references "December Calendar Language Activities," described as a 5-pack of activities designed to incorporate skills such as following directions, concepts, sequencing, and answering questions while using calendars. The source indicates that these monthly language activities receive positive feedback.
