On the 11th day of Tech-mas, I found a real pearl:
The Holiday traditions of the world.
Take your students for a trip around the world to learn how other countries celebrate the holidays using this link! Students can click on the different colored dots (pins) on the map to travel to a country and read about how the the holidays are celebrated.
Have your students apply share their knowledge of what they learned through their travels by completing one of the activities:
Students can compare and contrast two different countries using a graphic organizer that can be created in Google Slides.
Students can choose one country's holiday traditions that they found fascinating and share why they liked this countries holiday traditions. They can share their response in writing on a Google Doc, in a drawing using Seesaw, or in the form of a video using Seesaw, Screencastiy, or Flipgrid. To extend the learning, students can reflect on each others responses.
Bonus!!
Check out the code a Snowflake activity and the Code Boogie where students can create a snowflake poster or create a silly dance while learning to code.

Stay Techie,
The students loved the word art and building a snowman! We are going to add our sight words to the word art! Thank you much!
My kinder class has been learning about Holidays Around the World. I would show this whole class and have individual students choose a country. Then, I'd read the information about each country they chose.
That's awesome Nancy Mendoza - I can't wait to come back and see these!
Thanks for all the awesome tips. I am going to use the "Build a Snowman" activity to go along with our writing project based on the book "Snowmen at Night."
