As a kindergarten teacher, it’s important to make sure that your class holiday party is both fun and educational for your little learners. Here are some ideas that can help you plan and execute a great holiday party.
Crafts
Plan for some festive crafts that your kindergarteners can take home.

Some ideas include making cards for family members, snowflakes, or even decorating gingerbread houses. (Gingerbread Houses in the Classroom)
Games
Kindergarteners love to play games, so plan for some fun activities that can keep them engaged. You can plan for a game of “Pin the Nose on Rudolph” or a holiday-themed scavenger hunt. (Gingerbread Hunt)
Snacks
No holiday party is complete without some delicious treats. You can plan for some healthy snacks like fruit skewers or cheese and crackers, and also include some holiday-themed treats like candy canes, hot cocoa and gingerbread. Don’t forget to include the students grown-ups for help and donations.
Read-Alouds
Reading holiday stories can be a great way to wind down the party and get your little learners ready for their winter break. You can read classics like “The Gingerbread Man” or even some new variation of this entertaining story. (See my Amazon Store for some of my favorites.)
This Gingerbread Baby Picture Book Activity Pack is another fun way to add academic practice with read-alouds. (Picture Books and Activities for Little Learners)
