Using the Free Printable Christmas Writing books

I would recommend that you begin with some class brainstorming. Introduce the subject by reading some of your favorite Christmas books. Browse through our selection of multicultural holiday books.

After that, ask the students to talk about Christmas. Ask questions like

  • What do you know about Christmas?
  • In your opinion what is the best part about Christmas?
  • Can you describe some of the things do we do at Christmas?
  • What holiday traditions do your family have?

Continue the discussion by brainstorming a list of winter words. You might ask

  • What words do we use to describe Christmas?
  • What does Christmas smell/ look/taste/feel like?

Use a whiteboard or chart to write the words. Arrange them according to categories if necessary. Leave the whiteboard where your students can easily see it, so they can use the words when writing.

A Simple Way to Create the Books

  • Make a separate folder for each child.
  • Have the students work on and complete the pages.
  • File the completed pages in the appropriate file folder.
  • You can make the books once you are finished writing. Invite children to create a cover or print the cover pages we provided. Have the children arrange the pages in the order they prefer. Place the cover on top and secure the pages with staples.

It would be great if the children could share their finished books. Do this in small groups or with partners to make it easier for the kids who are a bit shy!
