Holidays Around the World! Travel around the world and see how other countries celebrate winter holidays. This unit of study includes 15 countries and the continent of Africa for a total of FIFTEEN-holiday studies. Best of all? It is ZERO Prep! So EASY!

Each winter holiday includes:

We have created a custom video with the holiday traditions and customs of each country. Real photographs are included in each of these kid-friendly videos. Your kindergarten and first-grade students will love them.

Each country has seven slides:

Watch the video about the holiday in that country.
Locate the country on the map.
A slide for students to discuss, draw, and write about one of the holiday customs.
Students will apply their phonics skills to complete the message. All of the facts are included in the video. This is a great reading comprehension activity.
Students will look for the images that represent the customs from that holiday.
Students will color the flag of that country.
Students will write about what they learned about they have learned.

Each holiday custom has:

A PowerPoint version for your interactive whiteboard.

Karen Berry – November 23

Hi,
Could you describe the types of activities that students will do for each country? I saw one was color the continent, I was wondering what other interactive jobs the students would have to complete. Also it seems that there are some extra “The”s at the start of some of the slides.
- Deedee – November 23
  
  Sure, they watch the video. The find the continent and color it. They respond with information about a tradition they learned about. They color the flag. 🙂

    Sounds great, thank you!

How do students draw in the google slides format?
- Deedee – November 23
  
  They use the Scribble Tool. 🙂
MicheleM – November 23

Can they be used to teach kindergartners virtually and not assigned?
- Deedee – November 23
  
  Yes, you would want to use the Google Slides version for that. 🙂
maria – November 23

is the Holiday bundle you have here suitable for Pre-K?
Do you have other resources for Pre-K?
- Deedee – December 1
  
  If you did the activities together, absolutely. But it would be hard for them to complete the tasks on their own.
Marcie – November 23

With any us if back to in person learning will you be creating activities for the classroom once again? Also if I purchased holidays around the year already from Deanna is her being update?
Thanks
- Deedee – December 1
  
  Yes! We made this together! However, this is not included in her previous unit. 🙂 Same information, but we recorded each powerpoint to turn it into a movie and made digital response pages. 🙂
  
  I’m hearing from many teachers that they like the digital options, so I will try to include both in the future. Printable and digital. 🙂
Liz – November 24

I don’t use Google or Seesaw with my kiddos virtually. Is this available as a Powerpoint?
- Deedee – December 1
  
  Originally, it was not, but I’m finding some schools have limited access to files outside of their organization. When I add the final 5 files, I will include the PowerPoint files.
Kimberly D Vann – November 25

When we purchase through your website, is there a way we can always come back to down load our purchases if needed?
- Deedee – December 1
  
  Yes! You just log into your account and you can download your purchases whenever you want.
Emily – November 27

Is this another collab with Deanna Jump? I bought her unit last year and don’t want to “double buy” it!! Thanks
- Deedee – December 1
  
  Yes! We made this together! However, this is not included in her previous unit. 🙂 Same information, but we recorded each powerpoint to turn it into a movie and made digital response pages. 🙂

Hi Deedee! I am having some issues with permissions on the video and audio. My students are being asked to request access no matter how I set my share setting so I’m wondering if its a setting in the original. Any suggestions for getting this for my kids?
Thanks!
- Deedee – December 14
  
  Yes, sadly that seems to be a setting your school administration has set up. No matter what I do on my end the issue still remains. ( have gotten a few hundred requests for access that I have on automatic approval, but it does not seem to matter.) You can talk to your school tech department. I think the only solution is for you to load the videos individually. There is a link in the unit so you can do that. I’m sorry, I wish there was another solution.
