Christmas Gift Ideas for Teachers

December 18, 2014 By Rachel

Need some Christmas gift ideas for teachers, coworkers, neighbors, or friends?  I love giving gifts!  It’s one of my favorite parts of the holidays!!  I also love a good pun!  So what do I do when giving a gift?  I made gifts with a “punny” gift tag!

Gift Idea #1

We Whisk You a Merry Kissmas

5 Easy Gift Ideas for Your Coworkers, Friends, and Neighbors with free printable tags.
Items Needed: whisk, Hershey Kisses
Just place a few Hershey Kisses into a small bag.  I used plastic wrap to hold the candy.  Then put the bag of candy in the middle of the whisk.  Tie the tag on with a cute ribbon and you’re all set!

2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
