Our students are always so excited about all things Christmas and winter holidays during December. One of the easiest ways to harness their excitement is to lean into it and bring resources into our classrooms that celebrate the holiday while sneaking in some learning.
For December, we use these December-themed Science Experiments, these Gingerbread Rhyming Mats, and this Under the Christmas Tree Writing Center.
We add with these Christmas Light Addition freebie, we read Christmas books like these favorites, and we play Christmas Bingo all month long (plus it’s perfect for holiday parties!)
And we fill our centers and independent work time with these Christmas Match-Ups!

Materials Needed for Christmas Match-Ups Bundle
Getting Christmas Match-Ups Bundle Ready
Print the match-ups (in color or black & white), laminate and cut them. Gather all of the pieces and place in a plastic container. I love using plastic shoe boxes to store centers like these. It keeps everything in one place and does not take up a ton of space.
Here’s how I organize my language arts and math centers so all the little pieces stay together.
This doesn’t take a ton of time to prep and makes a wonderful activity to help your kids have fun and learn at the same time.
Using the Christmas Match-Ups Bundle
Students will start the activity by choosing a Christmas tree card. My daughter was doing the initial sound match-up and chose the Christmas tree card with the letter Kk.
Students will then sort through all of the Christmas lights looking for the ones that start with the letter sound /k/.
Each Christmas card has six Christmas lights that match. Once the tree has six lights matching the corresponding letter, they can move on to a new letter and start again.
If you have younger (or struggling) students that would be overwhelmed by the number of pieces in this activity, you can differentiate it for them and provide them with only a few of the numbers or letters. Once they master those, you can slowly add in more.
If your students need a bit more of a challenge, use our mixed color Christmas lights so there’s not an easy way to self-check and “cheat.”
