Another great Christmas Activity.
Your students are going to love working on this Christmas Activity. And what a great way to reinforce co-operation amongst classmates while creating a bulletin board display.
Each student is given an individual tree (all decorated with things they may want for Christmas). Students will color and then cut out their individual tree and then use it to build a giant tree together.
Decorate the hallway, your classroom door or a bulletin board.
What you get:
42 Trees - each tree is decorated with something that students may wish for Christmas - bike, music instruments, books, friendship, love, peace, gifts, new clothes, snow, beach, dog, cat, fish, sports equipment, etc.
There are 2 blank tree designs so your students can design their own tree.
each individual tree uses just 1 piece of 8.5 x 11 paper
Your Bulletin Board design could include 4 trees, 9 trees, 16 trees, 25 trees, etc. You decide what works based on the # of students in your class.
Individually, one tree is fun. Together, the collaborative result is fantastic. Look at the preview to see all of the options.
What you need:
paper, scissors, coloring pencils, glue, wall space
Always make sure you download and save the project before printing! Sometimes customers just right click on the preview of a download and things don’t print properly!
