I don’t know about you, but I always like my learning activities to reflect either the current season or our theme. It helps the students stay excited about learning and just makes it more fun.
Fun Independent Practice
Now that there is an increasing need for digital activities, I decided to create some winter-themed skill practice activities that students could have fun with and do independently. I’m a big fan of student independence which is why I created these digital activities that young students can do on their own while you are managing your small groups. The best part is, the students have so much fun building the snowmen that they don’t even realize they’re building skills too!
For each set, students finish building the snowmen by dragging and dropping the 2 correct snowballs to each snowman (dotted lines show students where to place the snowballs).
The interactive drag and drop feature makes it engaging and fun for young students. They will eaglerly want to do their practice center!
I made all the sets similar so that once they learn how to do one, they can then complete the others with ease completely on their own. You only have to teach it once!
Seasonal Literacy & Math Skills Practice
I created sets for the skills that students usually need extra practice with during the winter months. There are sets for beginning sounds, color words, word families, 2D & 3D shapes, addition, subtraction.
Google Slides & Boom Cards
Each set is available as Google Slides or Boom Cards so you can choose the format that works best for you.
The Boom Cards are self-checking and an answer key is included for each Google Slides set making them super simple to use to assess your students’ skill mastery.
