First Day of Winter Activity Pack: Animals and Daylight

Use one page a day in the week around the first day of winter. Read the daylight box together before children color the bars.

Eight pages after the cover: Winter I Spy with 6 things to count, Hibernate, Migrate or Adapt? (cut and glue 9 animals), Daylight in June and December (a bar graph for Chicago), Would You Rather?, 12 Winter Solstice Word Cards on 2 pages, Winter Sentences and a Sun and Moon coloring page. Answer key for the I Spy included.

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

2 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Winter Solstice resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Winter Solstice activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade students, roughly ages 6-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
