Passport Page for Each Country

Start with prepping your passports! This is a fun way to track each of the countries that students have learned about. Check out this sample for all the “stops” students will be making. The writing activity will help students comprehend and remember what they’ve learned about in each country.

Information Pages for Teachers for Each Country/Holiday

To introduce each country, I suggest using a circle map that shows images and displaying it for students. Then, they will see a few things they’re going to learn about in the next few days about that country prior to studying. In my unit, I provide a circle map and a teacher script sheet to read aloud to your students.

Mini Books for Learning for Each Country/Holiday

Each country comes with a mini book. I’ve updated the fonts on these mini books so that it is easier to read for the students. They are cut-apart books. First, students will cut apart the four pages of their book. Then, they will staple it together in the corner. Finally, they will have a mini book for each country.

Information Flip Book for Each Country/Holiday

After students read about each country, they’ll complete a flip book. This will help students gather information about the holiday, how it is celebrated, and other unique information about Christmas in that country.

Vocabulary and Fact Writing Focus Pages

These student worksheets make learning about holidays interactive and meaningful. Kids read, write, and illustrate what they’ve learned about different Christmas traditions. Perfect for independent practice or group projects, these printables support comprehension and cultural awareness during your Holidays Around the World unit.

Culminating Flip Book Reviewing Multiple Countries

Use these flip book labels to compare holiday celebrations between countries. Students can record how Christmas and other holidays differ around the world in a simple, visual way. It’s a great follow-up after reading or learning about each location. Teachers love using this during their Holidays Around the World lessons for easy engagement and organization.
