Why teachers use Thinkabara in December

The weeks before winter break are busy and the kids are excited. These activities are built to be used in minutes: open the page, press print or put it on the board. Everything prints on US Letter, works on school devices and needs no student accounts or emails — nothing to approve with IT.

Mix calm activities (coloring, directed drawing, origami) with high-energy ones (the live quiz, bingo, charades) and you have a full day of holiday learning that still practices reading, spelling, vocabulary and fine-motor skills.

Questions & answers

Are these Christmas activities free for teachers?

Yes. Every activity is free for classroom use — no account, no email, no paywall. Print as many copies as your class needs.

What can I do for a class Christmas party with no prep?

Put the live Christmas quiz on the board, play Christmas bingo (print one card per child), and finish with a coloring page or a Nice List certificate for everyone.

How do I run Secret Santa for a class?

Use the Secret Santa generator: type the names, then print the name slips or hand out private links. Set a gift budget (for example $5) and a gift-swap day.

Can students do these on Chromebooks or iPads?
