FREE SAMPLE!!! Celebrate December and the approaching winter break with holiday season read aloud activities, crafts, and NO PREP worksheets that will save you TIME and PLANNING, plus bring a whole lot of Christmas magic to your kindergarten and first grade/grade one students!

Use this resource independently or as part of the daily 12 READ ALOUDS OF CHRISTMAS advent calendar countdown reveal: designate a time on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas break where kids can unwrap a book and reveal the day’s surprise read aloud. Then, complete some or all of the fun accompanying activities.
