Holiday Movies with Objectives

This activity works well with these resources:

It’s winter.  You might need a movie.  And so here is a list of Holiday Movies with Objectives.  These are very loose objectives/activities (to help you fill out the approval form just in case you need to get it approved).  Some are Christmas in theme and some are just about winter.  Either way, you will have to make the decision on which movies work for your students and expectations from your administration.

You may have these movies on VHS or DVD in your library or you may need to order them. Some you may even be able to watch on-demand from Amazon.  We provide Amazon affiliate links if you want to read more about the movie, watch it on demand, or order it.
