Christmas is here! With all the excitement of the season, Christmas activities for kindergarten are the perfect way to focus your students’ holiday energy on learning opportunities! These Christmas activities are fantastic for kindergarten centers and December morning work tubs. You’ll need some common classroom manipulatives like playdough, mini erasers, building bricks (Legos), scissors, pom poms, crayons, etc for these play-based hands-on activities.

These Christmas activities for kindergarten cover a variety of concepts in math and literacy. Math activities include number sense, numeration, one-to-one correspondence, number formation, and addition. Literacy activities focus on pre-reading skills, phonics, handwriting, and early literacy skills. Your students will love the fun Christmas themes like Santa, elves, Christmas trees, gingerbread cookies, reindeer, and more! Perfect for soft start mornings and December morning work tubs or center rotations!
