Christmas Holiday Homework Ideas For Elementary/Middle Schoolers

‘Tis the season to be jolly!’

It is going to be a chilly Christmas, isn't it? To keep your students entertained and learning in the meantime, whether virtually or in-person, here are some cool ways that will keep the holiday fun alive in homework without dimming the festival joy for the little learners. 

1. Teach them how to add/subtract using Christmas tree triangles! This teacher has added a star on the top and put sticky notes inside the triangles. The goal for kids is to put all the pairs of numbers that add up to the same sum together, example (5+2=7, 6+1=7, 3+4=7). Here you can attempt to clear your students’ concepts in mathematics and also make it fun while being in the holiday spirit.

2. This educator has prepared a fun cognitive development game for pre-primary students that are holiday-themed. See those sock, Xmas tree, red hat and adorable Santa penguins? The purpose is to make kids put together similar-looking stickers together. The cognitive function develops when the child sees, comprehends and performs the same task without steps being told. This Christmas-theme puzzle is definitely fun and helpful.

3. Here's a game to make your students open the doors of the Christmas-themed items by unjumbling the shown numbers. Once the numbers are correctly placed by the kids, the door ‘opens’ and then the gingerbread man, the stocking, gift and much more can be coloured by them. It's a brilliant way to teach elementary children about numbers and give them worksheets that are fun to perform.

4. Here is an amusing way of teaching middle schoolers grammar. These Christmas lights denote Simile, Metaphor and Hyperbole. Each light alone has examples of the respective types of figurative speech. Since it has been psychologically proven that learning in a creative way is extremely effective, this worksheet can truly help children learn faster and in a better way.
