Students use the letters in the phrase Merry Christmas to make words. They also sort the words into categories. This is an effective way for younger children to use what they know about word families and simple words and for older children to see how many words they can make with a finite amount of letters. This is a great academic activity to settle students down and get them focused when everyone's mind is on the holidays. MaryBeth Grecsek
