One page with a name line, four how-to-play steps and a scoring grid. The six topics are Animals, Foods, Places, Names, Things at a party and Action words, with columns for N, E and W, a points column and a total.
Can I use the New Year Category Word Game at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th 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.
How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade New Year's Day resources are there?

7 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 45 New Year's Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our New Year's Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are New Year's Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. 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.
Can I use these New Year's Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
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 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
