I know how crazy things can be as we wind down the school year before Christmas. The most important thing to do is to keep the kids EXTRA busy with fun activities.
www.TeacherPayTeachers.com is a great place to find holiday tips and activities. Some of the thousands of contributing teachers have put together packets with teaching ideas and activities to use. These are mostly meant for classrooms, but blend well with After School Programs and Winter Break Camps as well.
2012 Winter Holidays Teaching Tips and Freebies: Grades 3-6 Edition
2012 Winter Holidays Teaching Tips and Freebies: Grades 1 & 2 Edition
2012 Winter Holidays Teaching Tips and Freebies: Grades: PreK & K Edition
I hate to see kids participating in a full day or full week camp and only have 5-6 different coloring sheets to pick from the whole time. There is no reason we can't keep them occupied and secretly learning as well. Don't make a million copies of these, just make 5-6 and keep a master copy in a notebook. If kids liked one specifically and want to do it again, just get it out a make a few more copies.
Nothing will tick off a school secretary more than seeing her school resources squandered by there being a ton of Christmas coloring sheets in the recycling at the end of Winter Break. Be conservative with paper, be green, and keep a good relationship with your secretary!
