When Is Christmas 2024?
You probably don't need us to tell you that Christmas is celebrated on 25 December yearly! In 2024, Christmas will be observed on a Wednesday.
Of course, schools will be closed for school holidays on that date.
How Can I Decorate My Classroom For Christmas?
Want to bring Christmas into your classroom but already have so much to do? Here are some simple ideas you can try:
- Display your favourite Christmas picture books as classroom decor. They'll be easy to access for your read-aloud!
- Make paper Christmas tree ornaments with your students and display them in the classroom. Students can take them home to give as gifts to their parents.
- Plan a Christmas random acts of kindness challenge for your students, and display the challenges on your classroom wall.
What Should I Do With My Class for Christmas?
Get your students ready to make gifts to take home or explore fun activities for assembly.
Many of these Christmas activities can be completed with simple materials from around the classroom. From whole-class Christmas challenges to individual Christmas mindfulness activities, we have everything you need to get into the festive spirit this holiday season.
