Free Prewriting Practice – Christmas Themed

I’m already beginning to hear jingle bells and Christmas music when I’m out and about, and while I hate the thought of rushing through the Thanksgiving holiday, I do have to plan ahead. You now how I like to plan ahead. I have to start thinking about the details of my December lesson plans. (Because the bigger vision is already complete). Specifically, I have to consider what journaling and prewriting practice will be appropriate for my preschoolers, as well as details in other content areas.

I’m also teaming up with some other very clever bloggers to share more educational Christmas activities and printables, so don’t miss them at the bottom of this post!

December’s theme is straight forward.

Christmas.

We’re talking elves, gingerbread men, reindeer, candy canes, stockings, decorative trees, bags of presents, Santa and the like. Christmas. (And, we’ll be learning about the Christmas story as well, because being a private, in-home preschool I get to do that!)

The thing about a Christmas theme is that it adds to the Christmas spirit that comes with the season. I welcome my preschoolers into my home and you can feel the heater running, which is so inviting to chilled, rosy cheeks, as my preschoolers take off their mittens, down coats and boots. The house smells like Christmas with the scent of pine coming from the Christmas tree in the front room, and orange peels, vanilla pods, and cloves simmering on the stove.

So my preschoolers come in, take of their boots and heavy winter coats, and sit down for circle time, which happens in front of the fireplace in the family room, and they are ready to learn in a cozy, warm, and decorated environment. And since Christmas is already on their cute little brains, we will spend the month of December really enjoying it.

Because of this, I’ve created some Christmas prewriting practice cards.

Christmas Prewriting Practice Cards

This set of prewriting practice cards are completely free, and there are 30 cards, with different Christmas images and 10 different writing patterns. Just one set is enough for a small class of preschoolers, and when laminated, cut and put on a binder ring they make a great addition to your Christmas writing center.
