Winter Activities For Students

Introduction

It’s winter, and that means I can focus on doing winter activities for students in my classroom! And it also means where I live that cold weather and snow are here. How about you? What is winter like for you? Do you do any winter activities for students during this time?

Along with winter activities in my classroom, I also like to decorate the classroom door window and the classroom windows. I use seasonal window clings for this. At the beginning of the year, I start with flowers for the summer, then move to leaves for fall, and now we have snowflakes for winter. When it is the end of the school year, once again I will use flowers for spring. I find my students enjoy it and it adds a little whimsy to our classroom. Plus you can use them over and over again!

Making It Through The Winter Months In The Classroom

During the winter months scarves and boots help me make it through the day. I find both of them to be a huge comfort. And scarves help to add a little warmth if my classroom temperature is not to my liking. Winter activities for students are another thing that helps the 3rd quarter after winter break go a little more smoothly.

After winter break this year I am doing a winter sports theme with my ELA class periods. And I am doing a traditions theme with my social studies class period. I find that coming back from break is extremely tough, especially when there are cold mornings to face. But having themed lessons for a week or two helps me and my students to transition back into routine. Maybe you have read my previous blog posts Snowflake Winter Read Alouds and/or Back From Winter Break Activities, where I focused on thematic teaching with a winter theme. In this blog post, I have some new winter activities for students that can support your winter themed lessons. They can be used for a quick seasonal fun activity, indoor recess, Fun Fridays, or perhaps you have fast finishers and need something to help keep them occupied!
