Winter Holiday Activities for the Spanish Classroom

 

It’s that time of year…when winter holidays are upon us and kids are going stir crazy! While the kids may be ready to start Winter Break right now, unfortunately, there are a few more weeks to go. So instead of stressing out, use this collection of winter holiday activities to keep learning fun for the kids and easy for you!

To begin, here are 3 resources I created to help review Spanish vocabulary, including colors, numbers, animals, food, and more. All are print and go, and all are super fun for kids of all ages!
