Bring Holiday Cheer to Your Classroom with our Festive Clip Card Resource!
Make learning fun and festive with our Holiday Clip Card resource, perfect for adding a seasonal touch to your literacy centers! Students will love these interactive, Christmas and New Year-themed wheels, where they read and identify words with specific beginning sounds and clip them using clothes pegs.
How to Use the Resource:
Step 1: Students pick a holiday-themed clip card wheel.
Step 2: They read the sound in the center of the wheel, like “C” for “candy cane” or “B” for “bell.”
Step 3: Students then identify which pictures around the wheel begin with the same sound.
Step 4: Using clothes pegs, they clip the correct pictures that match the beginning sound.
Holiday-Themed Sounds:
The clip card wheels cover sounds perfect for holiday vocabulary, including: C, H, E, R, M, S, T, G, B, and F. Words like candy cane, * hat*, elf, reindeer, snowman, tree, present, bell, and fireworks help bring the holiday spirit to phonics practice.
