Christmas and Family Theme


Christmas is about family. I made a family album in which students trace the words, there is one with mom and dad and another with mother and father.
And students can make portraits like mine with craft sticks. You can make your own set and use them as flashcards.
Teacher: Who is this ?
Students: He is Brother !
The album can be turned into stick puppets.
And some Flashcards to review family members. 
But they can work for extra practice for prepositions. This time I printed them on cardboard and glued a big clothespin to make them stand.

Start with easy ones. 
The clips helps to attach one another.                                        
                         Teacher: Where is Brother ?
                      Students: Brother is on the stocking.
But any prepositions can be done using the clothespin.

Puzzles ! They are wonderful for preschool but they are useful for Elementary grades. Hand in a piece randomly to all the students. At your signal ask them to look around for other classmates that can complete their puzzle. Have a complete puzzle on a designated table. When the four students that make the  puzzle run to the assigned table and assemble the puzzle,they call to be first and win.
Pocket charts are good to review sentences or for the students to make their own sentences.
Students make a family tree but on the Gingerbread house.

Worksheets! Have the students color the worksheets as you say.
Teacher: Look at mother! Her hair is black. Her hat is green and white. Her dress is green. 
Have the students cut all the cards and play some games.
Teacher: Place your cards in order as I say.
Mom, cat, sister, reindeer.
Then have them cut the word out of each card and make a puzzle to put together on their notebooks.
I added some cards to match to the worksheets.
