This is a great opportunity to introduce kids to the Olympic spirit, instill some American pride, and excite and engage students who love sports. Of course, you can also practice essential skills in the process. Check out these 4 easy ways to celebrate the winter games in your classroom and keep kids engaged and learning. Students will use the information provided on the resource pages to solve real-world based problems and tasks related to the Winter Olympics.
This activity makes it easy to bring all the fun and competition of the event right to your classroom. In this activity, students have the once in a lifetime opportunity to attend Winterpalooza, a special event that happens every four years where athletes from around the world compete in a variety of sporting events like skiing, skating, and hockey.
Students will put their mathematical skills to use to get the most out of their special day. This activity is designed for grades and comes with two different versions making it easy to differentiate. There is a lower version for grades 2 and 3 and an upper version for grades 4 and 5. The upper version includes more difficult calculations and advanced math concepts like decimals and multiplication. Both options provide lots of opportunities for problem solving and collaboration.
There are many ways to use this activity in the classroom. You can work through the activities as a class, assign to students to complete individually or in small groups, place the activities in centers, or use them during guided math groups to provide more support.
This activity should take between minutes to complete in class. Much easier than learning how to snowboard. All you have to do is print and teach. Another great way to keep kids interested in the winter games and practice important math skills is to graph the real life medal counts.
In lower elementary grades you might want to just graph the U. Ready to step up? Kids love snow globes. Invite them to make their own winter wonderland scene using a variety of tiny trees, people, animals, houses -- and, of course -- glitter! If mason jars are too large or too pricey for your budget, small baby food jars work great too. Here's a simple tutorial from julieannart. This fun, relatively mess-free craft is a great way to recycle all those empty plastic water bottles!

Invite kids to decorate their miniature playdough snowmen using a variety of twigs, eyes, ribbons, buttons and more! They can write their guess in a private message to you or they can write it down on a piece of paper.
To create it, write a Christmas or winter-themed story about a winter wonderland, a candy decorated gingerbread house, or learning how to ice skate or a reindeer adventure and leave out certain words. Then just like Mad Libs, have students choose words to finish the story. Then read the story out loud. Send home these Make a Tree Kits with mini Play-dohs to your students and give them time to create their most fabulous trees as possible.
If you want to sneak in a little learning with this activity, they can write a sentence or a story about their tree or tell the class a story about their tree. Or, you can call it a party and just make the trees for loads for fun. Pick a Christmas or winter themed item in your head like a snowman, a reindeer, a candy cane, a snowflake, etc. The winner can be the next person to choose a Christmas or winter themed item to answer the questions.
Wintertime is such a great time to share all of our different family traditions and holiday celebrations. Make two complete sets of the items and pile each set at one end of the play space.
Have two teams line up behind a starting line on the opposite end of the play space. Players must race to the clothing, put all of the items on and run back to their teams wearing the snowsuits. Once back to their teams, they must take the snow clothes off and hand them to the next runners. Those players must put them on and run to the other end and back and then hand them off to the next player. It continues until all members of one team have run the relay in the snowsuit. The first team to be done wins.
Like the carnival game of beanbag toss, this game uses white, plush snowballs instead of beanbags. Paint a winter creature such as a snowman, penguin, or polar bear on a large piece of poster board. Prop the poster board and have kids try to toss the snowballs through the hole. It is the old favorite party game of musical chairs with a snowflake theme. To play, tape large snowflake cutouts to the seats of the chairs.
Instead of ordinary music, play a snow-themed song. Continue to remove the chairs as players are eliminated, one by one. Enjoy these games at your next winter wonderland party. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
