First Day of Winter Activity Pack: Sun Up, Sun Down

A grown-up reads each page aloud. Use one or two pages a day in the week around December 21.

Eight pages after the cover: Sun Up, Sun Down (color the day and night sky), Dress for Winter (cut and paste clothes), Count the Snowflakes, Trace Winter Words (sun, snow, night, cold), Winter Animal Cards, The Longest Night coloring page, I Can Draw Winter with a sentence to trace, and Sleep or Stay Awake?, a picture sort of 8 animals.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten 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.

9 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 Kindergarten students, roughly ages 5-6. 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 Kindergarten classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
