Activity Overview
The holidays can be very special for people. Many fond memories have been built around Christmas, Hannukah, and Kwanzaa. Have your students create a traditional storyboard to tell the story of a favorite memory about the holidays. Because many people celebrate holidays differently, this activity gives students a chance to think and write about their own family traditions, and learn about the traditions of their classmates. If any students don’t celebrate winter holidays, have them create a storyboard about a fond memory they have of winter break or some other time off from school.
