From our teachers' playbook

A celebration in every season

What can 4th graders learn with holiday activities?

Holidays give 4th graders a reason to read, write and compute with a twist. They read informational passages about celebrations around the world, like Korean New Year or Hanukkah, and compare traditions. They write shape poems for Earth Day, practice multi-digit multiplication on a Christmas worksheet and learn the history behind days like Presidents' Day. The fun theme rides on top of real 4th grade skills, so class time stays productive all year.

Our favorite ways to teach with holidays

A holiday is a hook. These moves make sure real learning comes along with it.

Start with a song

Open a holiday lesson with a short music video, like a going-green song before Earth Day. Then ask kids to pull out three facts from the lyrics. Music sets the mood and gives everyone the same background in two minutes.

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

Seasonal skill review

Use each holiday as a checkpoint for math you've already taught. A festive multiplication page in December brings back multi-digit practice right when it's starting to fade.

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

What holidays are good to teach in 4th grade?

Earth Day, Presidents' Day, Thanksgiving, winter holidays from different cultures, Valentine's Day and Read Across America are popular. They connect easily to reading, writing, math and social studies.

How do I teach holidays from other cultures?

Use short informational passages and let kids compare traditions with their own. Invite families to share, and focus on what people celebrate and why.

How can holiday activities still cover 4th grade skills?

Choose activities that practice what you're teaching, like multi-digit multiplication, reading comprehension or poetry. The theme changes, the skill stays the same.

Are these holiday resources printable?
