As winter break inches closer, we all know how challenging it can be to keep our little ones engaged and focused!

But I have some super engaging resources that I can guarantee will definitely keep them engaged! And that I can PROMISE!! Also...I've added "Build a Tree" to my Task Mats Bundle shown above!! Go redownload to get this new addition!!


Santa LOVES cookies! Students practice sight words as they feed the cookies to Santa! The magnetic spatula make this resource more engaging than most! Just tape the Santa to a magnetic wand and place a small paperclip to the cards to make them magnetic.


Your students can also practice sight words by leaving Santa some cookies and milk with this fun one!


If you're working on matching upper and lowercase letters, these next few activities are sure to please and increase student engagement!


Feed Rudolph! Another fun one for matching upper and lowercase letters! Your students will be fully engaged while feeding carrots to Rudolph!


Your students will love helping the elf load the sleigh with this one while practicing letter matching!

Students love these puzzles so much, they ask to do them during recess!! Students match and paste pictures to reveal a fun picture!
