It’s hard to compare to Christmas or your birthday when you’re a little kid, but maybe we can push one of the other holidays onto them as a close 4th or 5th (Halloween’s teeth-rotting experiences can’t compete). New Years is often considered a new beginning in many cultures. Maybe a fresh start at school, leaving behind the not-getting-homework-done work ethic or not-gonna-like-anyone sort of attitudes, might be advisable. Embrace the new year with some resolutions meant to be kept and some fun activities from have fun teaching. Maybe your best kids will get better, and the ones who really need to change might come around with them.

May Day is another holiday we don’t hear much about here in the U.S.A., but in other countries, especially Europe, there is a long tradition behind the holiday. Explore the cultural roots, the political meanings, and the fun aspects of the festival as well. As I’ve been saying often lately, these holidays are a teaching tool for social studies and cultural awareness. Don’t forget there are a lot of weird or unknown little holidays out there, too. Have students look up calendars of them or design their own holiday! Or, stick to some ready-made goodies from have fun teaching.

Continuing our holiday themed posts here, we’re talking this time about one of the most celebrated festivals in all of America, a very important cultural event for New Orleans and the southern half of the U.S.: Mardi Gras. More than just tossing bead necklaces around the classroom, you can delve into the social and cultural meanings behind the festival, and have a lot of fun coloring pages or doing activities with your students.

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.

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.

Hey, it’s Arbor Day’s big brother, or at least more popular sister. Earth Day makes for good outside activities, environmental science, and just general fun. Yeah, it might seem sort of Anti-Earth to print a bunch of worksheets, but why not print one for the document camera? Or have students look at the one you project onto the SMARTBoard? At any rate, after you’ve sweat a bit cleaning up your school’s sidewalks, pulling weeds, picking up trash and all, cool off and try one of these activities…
