Christmas themes make December the perfect time to practice kindergarten basics. Kids count ornaments and snowballs to 10 and beyond, solve little addition problems like 2 + 3 = 5 presents, find missing letters, read CVC words and put holiday words in ABC order. They sing carols, which builds rhyme and rhythm, and use scissors and glue for festive crafts. The skills are kindergarten skills; the sparkle just keeps everyone smiling.
Five-year-olds are bursting with holiday excitement. These moves channel it into learning.
