FIVE Word Searches to Countdown to Christmas!

This Advent Wreath Word Search and Discussion Activity guides students through the weeks leading up to Christmas with engaging puzzles and Advent vocabulary.

The resource includes five unique word searches, each dedicated to one of the Advent Wreath’s themes: Shepherd, Angel, Prophecy, Bethlehem, and Christ. These themes connect to the traditional Advent Wreath, which marks each week with specific symbols and meanings in preparation for the birth of Christ.

Each word search puzzle includes a list of meaningful words that relate to the theme for the week. Alongside each puzzle is a description page that explains how each word connects to that specific Advent theme, encouraging students to reflect on the words they find.

There is also a discussion prompt inviting students to consider the words, share their insights, and brainstorm additional words connected to each Advent theme.

This approach helps students understand the spiritual significance of Advent while building vocabulary related to the Liturgical Calendar.

Each Advent theme is thoughtfully represented with words that connect to key symbols, values, and figures associated with the season:

• Discussion Prompts: The resource includes discussion questions and brainstorming activities, inviting students to share their thoughts on the Advent words and come up with additional words that connect to each theme.
• Engaging and Educational: Word searches are not only a fun way to engage with content, but they also build focus, concentration, and vocabulary skills. Students will remember more about Advent and its themes by engaging directly with the language of the season.

The Christmas season isn’t finished without watching this holiday classic! It revolves around a child's naive desire for his family to vanish.

In summary, with imaginative traps, excellent humor, meaningful themes, and a well-crafted narrative, this story will lead you to reconsider wanting to grow up too quickly. It effortlessly combines humor, suffering, feelings, human instinct, and clever booby-traps into a single compact package. This movie has remarkably withstood the passage of time.

Celebrate winter with this engaging communal story-telling activity!

This product features a communal story-telling activity in which students practice using Freytag's Pyramid plot structure in their own narrative writing. In this activity, each student begins a story inspired by a unique winter-themed photograph. They are prompted to write the exposition of the tale by introducing the setting and main characters. After the allotted amount of time, the story is then passed to another student who is prompted to write the inciting incident or conflict and begin to detail the rising action. The paper is passed from student to student twice more until the story is resolved. When the stories are finished, the worksheet is returned to the original student who can then make edits and is responsible for producing a final draft.

With this intrinsically engaging activity, each student has the chance to tap into their creativity while applying knowledge of the 7 steps of Freytag's Pyramid. It is a great activity to introduce or reinforce the plot diagram and is perfect for a Friday, a substitute plan, or simply for when students need a creative break without sacrificing learning and hard work. I trust you will find that your students will ask for this activity again and again!
