With This Product You'll Get:

⭐ 10 reading passages

⭐ 10 Question Trails

⭐ Student Recording Sheet

⭐ Student Directions

⭐ Teacher Directions

⭐ Teacher Answer Key

This fun front-loading lesson includes 10 short reading passages and a final mystery word that students must unscramble. Each card reveals a new code word. The correct code words are not only found on a different card but also must be found IN the reading passage.

⚠️ CAUTION: Should you choose to use the activity as a review activity, the questions would be too easy and the completion time would be too quick. Therefore, I highly encourage this activity to introduce a new unit.

How does it work?

Students choose a reading card to start at and may start at ANY card. They read the passage and look at the question at the bottom labeled “code word”. The code word for THAT card number will lead them to a different card. But here’s the catch… students will NOT know where to find the answer so they will have to visit, skim, browse and revisit the clue cards and reading passages several times to find the answer they are seeking. (The more times they read or skim, the greater the chances of the info sinking in!)

Is it still a scavenger hunt?

It sure is! Students are roaming around the room hunting for answers. With large groups it’s often too hard to hide clues without the first group giving away the location once a clue has been found. This format ensures that ALL students can participate, and the “answers” will not be revealed by students who “finish” first.

You can hang the cards on the wall, scatter them on the floor, place them on desks, hide them or use as stations. How you choose to set it up in your classroom is up to you.

Students can work in pairs (or individually) and race to complete 10 questions, secret word and secret code. A friendly competition always increases engagement.

Skills Included:

✓ Reading Comprehension

✓ Critical Thinking

✓ Citing Evidence

✓ Problem Solving

"Christmas Writing Around the World" is a fun, interactive map tool designed to immerse students in the festive traditions of Christmas from various global perspectives. This engaging digital experience allows students to explore and discover Christmas traditions from six countries: Australia, USA, Canada, Mexico, France, and the UK.

This simple Christmas activity lets students click on the markers scattered around these countries, revealing a story from the perspective of a child in that specific location. Each story details their unique Christmas traditions, foods, and other special aspects of their holiday celebration, including what the weather is like during Christmas.

By reading these captivating stories, students can learn how to structure their own recounts, incorporating details about traditions, foods, and special moments.

"Christmas Writing Around the World" not only broadens students' cultural understanding but also enhances their global awareness and recount writing skills. They will delight in the colourful tales of Christmas celebrations from around the world, making it a memorable and enjoyable learning experience that brings the joy and spirit of Christmas into the classroom.
