Christmas Find & Count

My kids excitedly reminded me yesterday that we only have TWO weeks until Christmas! How did it sneak up so quickly?! As promised a few posts ago, here is a Christmas Find & Count activity page in black and white. You can find a color one here.

Teachers, print this out for your students if you need a festive but quiet activity as we get closer to Christmas Break. Parents, print this out if you need a festive but quiet activity once the kids are out of school and at home for Christmas Break! These Find & Count pages also make great activities for long car rides, quiet waiting rooms, or for early finishers in class.

Please only use for classroom or personal use. Do not resell, repost, or claim as your own.

Happy Holidays!

Kwanzaa Find & Count Printable

The winter holidays are upon us, and we want to make sure everyone has a fun activity to do as they celebrate. For those who celebrate Kwanzaa, I’ve created a fun find and count activity page, both in color and in black and white.

Print it off and share with your students, your family, or your friends. It would also be a great resource to use if you learn about the different winter holidays with your class. Have fun, and happy finding!

Hanukkah Find & Count Printable

And just like that, we are already to December! The winter holidays are fast approaching— are you ready?! 

Last year, I created and shared a Christmas I Spy page for you to download and use in your classroom or home. You can find that here.

I realize that not everyone celebrates Christmas, so I’ve created a Hanukkah Find & Count page for you to use in your classroom or home. If you want to use the Christmas download with your class, and have a few students who celebrate Hanukkah, now they can join in on the fun without feeling out of place. Including everyone is so important! 

*Hopefully coming soon: a search and find for Kwanzaa and a black & white Christmas I Spy page!

This printable is free to download, and is only for classroom and personal use. Do not resell it or claim it as your own.

Counting Practice, but Make it Fun

Learning to count is an essential skill for kids to learn, so why not make it fun?! Last November, I created and shared a printable Thanksgiving themed I-Spy page. You can find it here. Since last year’s page was only in color, I thought I’d share a black and white I-Spy printable this year! 

These I-Spy/ Find and Count pages are great for early finishers, class parties, fun math activities, or even as a game. Parents can also print them for their kids for long car rides, waiting rooms, quiet time, or to be used to keep kids entertained while the turkey is cooking!

Fall Fun for the Classroom

It’s officially Fall! The leaves are changing where I live, and the morning air is crisp. It’s a beautiful thing! New seasons bring all kinds of changes, and those changes create great opportunities for exciting learning opportunities as well as lots of fun, creative art activities. Below you will find a few suggestions and ideas for some Fall fun in your classroom! Feel free to modify any activity to fit your students’ needs.

Science:

  • Learn about the life cycle of an apple from seed to fruit. Taste test different kinds of apples.
  • Learn about why the leaves change their colors. Talk a walk outside and see how many colors of leaves you can spot.
  • Investigate why the temperatures start to drop. Discuss the Earth’s rotation and position this time of year.

Art:

  • Go outside and gather some leaves from the ground. Use them to create leaf rubbings, stamps with paint, or press them and make a bookmark.
  • Draw a fall scene.
  • Gather small leaves from outside. Draw a tree trunk and branches on paper, then glue the leaves onto the tree.

Language Arts:

  • Read some books about Fall.
  • Write an acrostic poem using FALL or AUTUMN.
  • Write a descriptive paragraph describing a fall scene.

Math:

  • If available in your area, collect fallen acorns or pinecones. Sort and count in several different ways.
  • Conduct a class-wide survey about favorite Fall activities. Create a bar graph with the results.
  • Use fall themed candy as math manipulatives.
  • Print out and have students complete the Fall Find and Count printable at the end of this post.

Students learn best when a learning experience is engaging. And honestly, from a teacher’s perspective, teaching is much more enjoyable when the material you are teaching is fun and engaging. Play into the seasons, holidays, and other special occasions— I bet you’ll have as much fun as the students do!
