How do I use this resource?
Cut out the cards and keep them in a writing center basket. Children choose a card and write in a notebook, or you can pick one card for a whole-class journal entry.
What students will practice
- Gives 2nd grade students seasonal counting, vocabulary, and fine-motor activities themed around Christmas and Easter.

What is the Hanukkah Writing Topic Cards?
⌄
Two pages with four cards each. The eight topics ask children to describe a favorite Hanukkah food, list eight wishes for eight nights, describe a dreidel game, plan a gift to make, tell about something that lasted longer than expected, write a thank-you note, imagine what a candle's light would say and explain how to light a menorah.
Can I use the Hanukkah Writing Topic Cards at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd 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 2nd Grade to 5th Grade Hanukkah resources are there?
⌄
4 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Hanukkah resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. 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 Hanukkah 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 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
