Holiday, Winter & January Quizzes and Activities

Add a little holiday “spark” to your classroom with these fun holiday quizzes and activities. I’ve also included activities for January events like Kansas Day and Martin Luther King Day.

Don’t be hesitant to use these quizzes in your classroom. Quizzes and some of these fun activities are a great way to introduce a new topic. Some of these activities, like holiday trivia, will also provide a no-pressure “brain break” for students that have been working hard. Don’t forget that printables like word searches and sudoku can be used on the CPS Chalkboard and make a great quick all-class activity. Some of these activities could also be done on paper, but they are so much more fun to do using CPS and/or the CPS chalkboard.

Check them out and have FUN with them!
