Description
Looking for a quick, easy & fun way to do some “Christmas Around the World” activities? These “print & go” Christmas cards are a super-simple way to do that.
This packet is the second in a series, and includes these 13 countries:
- Austria
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Greece
- Latvia
- Monaco
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Romania
- Switzerland &
- Turkey
Lots of OPTIONS:
You can keep things simple & make just a “Country Christmas Card”, which acts as a nice craft for your other Christmas Around the World activities OR…
Choose from a variety of additional research pages and turn the cards into a mini report.
Pages Included:
1. Cover featuring the country & flag
2. Inside greeting featuring people of that country, which are dressed in their national costumes. Students write Hello & Merry Christmas in that language.
There’s a matching passport stamp on this page as well.
3. A page for researching interesting information about how this country celebrates Christmas.
4. A ”rap” sheet where students fill in important information about size, population, capital, bordering countries etc.
5. A page for listing Tourist Attractions & places they’d like to see .
6-7. Two pages for Interesting Facts that they've discovered.
8-9. Two blank, but bordered pages, which you can use for additional writing prompts.
As always, patterns come in black & white for students to color, as well as full color, so that teachers can quickly & easily make an example to share.
More fun stuff:
* A “Where in the World are We?” map. Students color each country that they visit.
* “Name That Country” review game & worksheet,
* "Pick a Country" : Run off the mini suitcase cards, which feature the name of a country; toss them in a stocking & have children pick one. That will be the country that they then research or make a Christmas card for.
* “Pack It All Up” travel folder. I designed this if you want your students to make & collect all of the Christmas cards. This not only keeps things organized & handy, but provides an awesome portfolio that your students will be proud to take home & share what they’ve learned with their families.
* Graphing extension: "What are your top two favorite countries that you’d really like to visit?" whole group activity.
* Since completed projects make an amazing bulletin board or hallway display,
I’ve also included 3 travel posters to add extra pizzazz.
Be sure & check the PREVIEW for lots of samples.
