Our trip around the world on Christmas Airlines has begun--and we are having all kinds of fun learning about Christmas traditions in other countries! To go along with our Christmas themed classroom fun, I have added some precious reindeer activities to my reading stations! The little silly reindeer pictured below are placed in a pocket chart and matched to the words that best describe them. {My faves...the rock n' roll reindeer and stinky reindeer--which I sadly did not get a picture of those two!}
The adorable guys in the picture below are just a fun little decoration right now--but I am planning on attaching magnets to the back of each reindeer, and the kids can use them to put in ABC order, and then complete a matching cut and paste work page to go with it!
I CAN'T wait to make my swirly-antlered, root beer lovin' reindeer guy. He is holding a teeny tiny book titled, "If You Give a Reindeer Some Root Beer..." {which is all about him, and the kids fill in missing words and illustrate each tiny page--AH! I just love him!} In his other hand is a delicious root beer...because of course reindeer get thirsty on their journey to help Santa deliver presents!
If you are a teacher friend, and would like to read and write and sing about reindeer too--you can find all these activities (and much more) in my Reindeer Games activity packet! Grab yours *here*!
