The Christmas season is here! Your winter holiday break is ALMOST here, too. Woohoo!! You made it through the first semester – it’s time to break out the hot chocolate, candy canes, and gingerbread men cookies!

The life of a teacher becomes exponentially more hectic during the Christmas season. Your days are 1000% full and you don’t have time to look for engaging and effective worksheets. I wanted to help out with your planning and workload so I’ve put together a list of Christmas kindergarten worksheets for you and your class.

Christmas Kindergarten Worksheets

Kindergarten students love the winter holiday season so much! And the kids’ overflowing energy for the holidays can be overwhelming. So yes, it can make some of us less than jolly this time of year! This is why it can be helpful to embrace some of that seasonal excitement in your choice of worksheets.

Yes, Christmas coloring pages are great, but why not use resources that perform double duty for you?

Yes, you can keep up the academic rigor in your classroom, despite all the Christmas activities going on this time of year.

Yes, there are ways to scale back your workload while having holiday fun and covering literacy and math skills, and even fine motor skills, throughout the entire busy month of December!

While some schools opt out of winter holiday celebrations, you can still make the most of your young learners’ excitement for winter seasonal fun, without actually mentioning the words “Christmas time,” if your district doesn’t allow it. Not only will you find holiday worksheets in this list of activities, but there are winter-themed activities, too!

Christmas Math Worksheets

You can help your students sharpen their math skills before winter break with seasonal worksheets. This hot cocoa-themed activity gives students the chance to practice number formation and counting as they fill in the missing numbers.

Christmas worksheets can also be used to reinforce tricky concepts that require a little bit of extra practice. For example, students can practice comparing numbers with this snow bucket activity.

The December set of math printables provides students with the opportunity to practice various math skills including counting, simple addition and subtraction, ten frames, missing numbers, shapes, and more!

Christmas Literacy Worksheets

You can also bring some seasonal fun to your classroom with Christmas literacy worksheets!

Christmas and winter-themed worksheets can help students practice a variety of literacy skills. Students can review their phonemic awareness skills with this hot cocoa activity. They can color each much according to the beginning sound they hear when naming each picture.

In addition to beginning sounds, students can practice sight word identification, real and nonsense words, parts of speech, CVC words, and more! You can use the wide variety of printable activities to help you target the specific literacy skills that your students need to practice in the weeks leading up to winter break.

Differentiated Christmas Worksheets

We all know differentiation is vitally important in the kindergarten classroom. (In ANY classroom, for that matter.) This can be a challenge in the busy month of December because differentiation requires so much time and attention to detail.
