3rd Grade Christmas, Chanukah, & Kwanzaa Handouts

No Prep! Word search activities offer many benefits for students. They can help students learn new vocabulary, improve spelling skills, and develop problem-solving abilities. These word search activities are great for reviewing musical concepts in a fun and challenging way! Word search activities also make engaging brain breaks and bell-ringers.

"My students enjoy doing something different in Music Class. This is the first time I used a word find. The students were engaged right away. I needed something to use after our Christmas performance. It was perfect and saved me a lot of time." - Bonnie L.

Do you need engaging activities to accompany "The Nutcracker?" Students can search for Nutcracker-themed words in this 15x15 word grid. Eighteen words can be found up, down, or across! Answer key included.

Fifteen Vocabulary Words

• up
• down
• across

Word Search Benefits

• Vocabulary: introduces learners to new words and their meanings, which can help to expand their vocabulary.
• Spelling: teaches the correct spelling of words.
• Visual perception: students scan a grid and identify patterns, which can help to improve their visual perception skills.
• Problem-solving: helps students develop problem-solving skills by challenging them to find words that are hidden in a grid.
• Focus: Word searches can help students focus and concentrate, which can be helpful for other academic tasks.
• Memory: helps improve memory by requiring students to remember the words that they have already found.

Get ready to unleash your student's creativity and embark on a writing adventure filled with winter wonder!

Brrr! Winter has arrived, blanketing the world in a layer of sparkling snow. Today is the perfect day to build a snowman! But what if their snowman suddenly came to life?

What's Included?

1. Drawing Your Snowman: Before they dive into writing, they imagine its unique features: size, shape, facial expressions, accessories (hat, scarf, etc.). Let their artistic side shine!

• Narrative Writing: The Magical Moment: Tell the story! Describe the scene, their initial reaction, and how the snowman interacts with them. Did they talk to?

• Descriptive Writing: A Frosty Friend: Taking a closer look at their snowman. A descriptive paragraph detailing its appearance. Focus on specific features like its texture, the sparkle of the snow, or the way its eyes (made of buttons or pebbles) seem to come alive.

• Summary Writing: A Day of Winter Fun: Let them imagine they spent the entire day with their living snowman! Time to write a summary describing the activities they did together. Did they build a snow fort? Have a snowball fight? Go sledding? The possibilities are endless!

This creative writing activity allows students to:

• Develop their storytelling skills through narrative writing.
• Enhance their descriptive writing skills by focusing on details.
• Practice summarizing events in a clear and concise way.
• Spark their imagination and explore the concept of a magical snowman encounter.

Don't forget to share with me how it went with your little ones. I hope it was useful in your classroom.

UPDATES DEC. 2O23:

• modified graphics
• combined my free and paid supplement into one resource
• created labels with prepared template instead of just offering the blank template and labels separate
• more versions with different backgrounds (2 options each page)

Note that the preview is only of the letter portion, not the labels and label template.

Info about what's included (in zipped folder):

• a TO SANTA template
• a TO SANTA template with writing help
• a FROM SANTA template - two versions with different introductions

All with 2 background options each.

The second you’ll find in the zipped folder you purchase is access to mailing labels, of which there are 3 to choose from (my creative original, a general one, and the USPS official one). You have an Avery labels set that’s blank, and another with the labels on them.

Note: Only the USPS official address can be mailed - the other two are for fun but won't necessarily go anywhere unless you plan it some other way. There's also no guarantee the USPS-sent mail will get an answer as they depend on others to step up. More about that here.

In summary:

• 2 templates TO Santa (1 with text)
• 2 templates FROM Santa
• blank Avery template
• prepared Avery template
• 3 mailing label options

About the labels: (5160 labels, set of 30)

You can simply print the labels with my provided template, but you’ll preferably want to purchase the peel-and-stick version from the Avery store to easily adhere to envelopes. Or you can adhere with the printed version without the peel-and-stick, using glue or tape. I highly recommend using the p&s version so you can print right onto them. Or simply WRITE the addresses by hand!
