What's included:

1. Joy Is A Snowman

Even though the weather outside can be frightful, winter can also be a time of joy. We’ve got holidays, traditions, family time and, hopefully, some time away from school and work. But you know what’s better than experiencing joy? Spreading joy! This winter, help kids spread joy to those around them by doing a few thoughtful acts of kindness. In this activity, kids will complete acts of kindness to build a snowman. Each time they complete one of the prompts, they get to add a piece to their snowman puzzle. 

2. Self-Care Snowflake

Winter break is an exciting time. There are holiday activities, family time and NO SCHOOL! However, it is also a good time for children to take some time to recharge their batteries. Everyone needs to practice self-care, including kids.

We have created a simple self-care based activity that will guide kids through practicing self-care tasks. These are tasks that can help them recharge during their winter break.

3. I Celebrate

This time of year, families are celebrating many different holidays. A great way to learn about different holidays and traditions is for students to hear from their peers about the holidays and traditions they celebrate.

This activity lets students share about the holidays they celebrate. Since there are holidays celebrated year round, this activity can be done anytime!

4. My AccomplishMINT

As we near winter break, it’s a good time for students to reflect on something they’ve accomplished so far this school year. Students learn and grow so much in the first few months of the school year, but they don’t always take the time to recognize what they’ve accomplished.

It’s important for students to receive encouragement and recognition from teachers and caregivers, but it’s equally important that they learn how to recognize and acknowledge their accomplishments on their own.

To help students with this task, we’ve created a worksheet that guides them through a reflection process. This would be a great activity before heading out on winter break, and something you might want to revisit when students return to the classroom in January to help them remember how much they’ve already learned this year!
