This packet includes a variety of quick, easy and interesting ways for your kiddos to countdown to Christmas.  Counting down is a great way to help your students practice counting backwards, as well as visually be able to "see" the passage of time, which is a rather abstract concept for young children.

Doing countdown activities, help little ones wrap their heads around the concept of time.  They're also a quick, easy and fun way to practice numbers, as well as counting backwards.   The packet also includes a traceable calendar page for December, with a blank template if you want students to write in their own numbers.

Using a Venn diagram helps your students learn to compare and contrast in a fun way.  There are 7 Venn diagrams in this packet, all featuring an elf.  I've included color as well as black and white templates.  Use the black and white copy for students to write their own, then call them up for a whole-group discussion and add everyone's ideas onto the colored Venn diagram.

If you have an Elf On A Shelf in your classroom, a super-fun writing extension is to have your students keep a journal of the elf's daily adventures.  I've included prompts for PK as well as older kiddo's.   Encourage them to illustrate their page.  Make the journals out of file folders and have students decorate their cover.

Help students learn to count forwards, backwards and by 10's.  Print; laminate; trim and have students put together, or run off copies for each child and have them cut and glue to the numbered grid.  You can also make a puzzle flip booklet using all 3 puzzles stapled to the top in mixed up fashion.  Children flip the strips to find the puzzle they are working on.  Have children pick a partner; challenge them to see who can be the first to put their puzzle together.
