So what was the use of all those holiday activities I just got done posting if your students can’t even find them on a calendar? As useful as finding places on a map, finding dates on a calendar and understanding how weeks, days, and holidays work is an integral part of our lives. Make it fun and interesting with some free calendar activities. Then have students mark all their favorite holidays, track their attendance with color coding, or keep classroom birthday lists.

There are about 6 weeks left before V-Day. That means you have to find a way to please your kids in class, your kids at home, and do something romantic for that special someone – even if they’re not so special! Sigh. But really, by the time you get around to making photocopies for the kids at school, the day might slip by, so print out a few of these handy resources and put them in the copy pile today. Oh, and get something extra nice for your friendly blogger, too!

Getting away from the religious holidays, we go back into our nation’s holidays with President’s Day. Depending on where you’re from, this could either be just Washington’s birthday or a day to remember Washington and Lincoln. Regardless, this is a great piece of national pride and history in February, getting our minds of that candy-filled holiday just a week or so before. Teach your students about our first president or all of our presidents, using some quick little activities that would surely be a great part of a presidents’ booklet.

Labor Day, a day we mostly get off from school. So, what to do? How about on the Friday before, or the Tuesday after, starting off with some morning work or dismissal work about the holiday? Isn’t it only fair they do a little work about Labor Day? I don’t know if they’ll appreciate that sentiment, but a few short sentences or an essay about what they will do or what they did for Labor Day on the back of one of these activities would be a great way to tie in writing, too.

Not big on dressing up and making a fool of yourself for the fun of your students?

Seriously, though, if your kids get into it, and you can go to school dressed like a ninja, why not? It’s the one day a year you can really be silly, so ham it up and have a good time with the kids.

Need to know a bit more about Hanukkah? Admittedly, most of what I know comes from South Park, Adam Sandler, and other TV Shows. Sad, I know, but why not honor the holiday, especially as a social studies lesson or as a cultural awareness lesson? Or, when other students are doing their Christmas or Kwanzaa stuff, Jewish students could still participate in the holiday season with Hanukkah activities. I know I’m missing a few more winter religious holidays, and all together you could have quite holiday season of fun!

As teachers and parents of young students, let’s all take a moment to remember our fathers who are involved in educating young minds. Along with mothers, they form a cornerstone of our school-home connection. And, I don’t think dads like much more than getting nice colored pictures or activities handed to them by their little sons or daughters. Remember one of the most important family members we all have with some activities honoring fathers.

Easter can be a fun holiday, whether you use the religious version (in parochial schools or homeschool settings most likely) or the commercialized version. I drag out the christmas tree and hang tons of plastic easter eggs on it, each with special quiz questions or vocabulary words for the week in them. You can do all sorts of cool stuff like that. For more ideas, try looking at have fun teaching’s easter section.
