I work in a very diverse school district and it was so great to be able to connect with different cultural holiday experiences. I used this with mixed groups of students (artic, fluency and language) for several weeks in December. This one will be used over and over again!

I was satisfied with this resource. Some of my students have family in Mexico. They were surprised to learn about poinsettias but didn’t seem knowledgeable about some of the other “traditional” activities. Several students liked learning about Christmas traditions in other countries. This was used to address multiple goals in group speech therapy.

My go to holiday activity
Great holiday activity that can target a lot of language goals (articulation if at the reading level). I like doing the coloring with my students as well. 🙂
