A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) Movie Viewing Guide | Worksheet | Google Formats is a short activity great for a quick, no-prep Christmas lesson. Challenge your students to think critically about the meaning of Christmas, commercialization, the scrawny Christmas tree and how Charlie Brown feels about the holiday season.

Note: This film can be found on some streaming video sites, such as YouTube. Simply search the title and you can find a full length version of the film.

There are several Charlie Brown Christmas videos so to avoid confusion please check the IMDb listing that this movie guide is meant to accompany by copying the title and searching on IMDb.

This resource consists of 6 high-level, short answer and essay questions that will do more than just ask your students to regurgitate information.

This product .zip file includes:

  • A student movie guide, PDF print version (2 pages)
  • A student movie guide, PDF digital fillable form version (2 pages)
    *An answer key is included with this movie guide, however many answers will vary as students are encouraged to construct their own meaning from the characters’ dialogue and behavior. See the preview for samples.
    *A Google Forms & Slides Version of the Movie Guide
    *CCSS alignment indicating standards met, PDF (1 page - see also preview image)
    **CCSS Note: I’ve taken the liberty of aligning certain reading standards with the act of consuming content via the movie instead. Although students aren’t reading they are asked to perform the same cognitive functions on the content that they consumed from the movie.

**Distance Learning Tips:

  • Distribute the digital PDF file or the google forms version to each student
  • Use the screen sharing tool on your group call software to play the movie
  • Pause the movie at each question to give students time to write/discuss
