From our teachers' playbook

Jingle all the way to learning!

What can 1st graders learn with Christmas activities?

December is busy, and Christmas themes are a great way to keep first graders learning while the excitement builds. Kids can practice short vowel CVC words like h-a-t, b-e-d, f-u-n, add within 20 with snowmen and ornaments, and work out fact families like 3 + 4 = 7, 7 - 4 = 3. They can write a letter, sort nouns, and sing classic holiday songs that build reading fluency. Families celebrate the season in many ways, so it's a nice time to let kids share their own traditions too. The click moment is when the holiday fun and the learning become the same thing.

Our favorite ways to learn with Christmas themes

These moves keep real first grade skills front and center while the holiday adds the sparkle.

Build the CVC word

Give kids letter cards on paper ornaments and have them build short vowel words on a tree mat. Then they read each word to a partner. Building words letter by letter keeps phonics practice hands-on during a busy month.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Sing and read the lyrics

Put up the words to Jingle Bells and point to each word as kids sing. Then have them find sight words and rhyming words in the lyrics. Singing a song they already know helps early readers read with confidence.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Fact families all month

Do one short fact family page a few times a week in December. Each page mixes in families from earlier weeks. Steady practice keeps math facts growing even when the schedule is full of holiday events.

Why it works: spreading practice out over days is one of the two most effective study methods in a major research review (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

What are good Christmas activities for 1st graders?

Try phonics games with ornaments, addition with snowmen, writing a letter or reading holiday song lyrics. Choose activities that practice skills you are already teaching so the learning continues.

How do I keep 1st graders focused in December?

Keep routines in place and use holiday themes as the hook. Short, hands-on activities work better than long worksheets when excitement is high.

How can I include all families during the holidays?

Invite kids to share how their families celebrate, whether that is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or another tradition. Winter themes like snowmen and snowflakes work for everyone.
