Holiday+Lessons+and+Activities

Here is the beginning of an assortment of activities and lessons for the holidays. **EASTER** Made by me: Springtime and Easter Traditions and Customs around the World I use my Glogster pages not only to convey information, but to use as a discussion starter and a fun way to link all my information and items needed for the lesson. Lesson Plan

The following are from Teachers Pay Teachers. Adapt this to any subject! Adapt this to any subject! Can also be adapted for any subject! Odd or Even posters and numbered eggs. Egg and chick addition with work mat. Coloring based Dolce Sight Words on Easter eggs. There is even one that they students make using words around the room. However, if you don't like the word lists I'm sure you could white out and insert your own lists. This looks like fun and can also be adapted! Adaptable LITERACY CENTER idea! Could be used for any holiday!! Math Ideas: **Egg Carton activities**
 * Counting--**Write numbers in the bottoms of the egg cartons and have students count and place beads or cereal according to the number into the spaces.
 * Ordering numbers**--Write numbers on eggs and have students put the eggs in order in the carton. This can also be done using a hundreds number chart and cards.
 * Memory/Reading Numbers**--Place number cards inside plastic eggs that sit in an egg carton. Write numbers on another set of cards. The students will take turns drawing a card from the stack and choosing an egg. They MUST read the number correctly and they must match the two numbers must match. If they do they keep the egg and the card. If not, then they return the egg to the carton and the card goes on the bottom of the stack. The other group members must remember where that number is in the carton in case they draw it again. The process is repeated until each egg has been matched. The person with the most matches wins.
 * QR code activities: **
 * Goto www.QRvoice.net and create voice codes for this activity. Create QR codes that say a number when the students scan them using ipods. They will then match the number card to the QR code on their sheet, or you can have them write the number on the QR code sheet.
 * Using the same QR voice site you can create QR codes that give directions. The students can create an Easter or Springtime scene using the directions you give. For example you might say, "Draw 30 blades of grass at the bottom of your paper." or "Draw one bright yellow sun in the top left corner of your paper."
