Winter is here, and with it comes an opportunity to incorporate meaningful winter activities in our classrooms!
I’m excited to share with you some amazing winter themed resources for your classroom! Here you have some activities to introduce this topic in kindergarten.

Children love Eric Carle’s books because his books always offer children the opportunity to learn something about the world around them through simple stories and wonderful illustrations.
Below is an adapted book based on Eric Carle’s “Polar Bear. What do you hear?”. Upon reading, learners can identify animals, winter activities and numbers.
For added fun, use these winter activities yoga to stretch together as a class!
Get ready to roll, slide, clap and bounce in this winter snowman brain break and movement activity “Snowman Dance”. Kids movement activity for winter and January music and movement activities by Sandra at Sing Play Create.
Make practicing visual discrimination and counting lots of fun with this winter themed activity
A great snowflake crafts for kids are simply by buttons, take a sheet of cardboard, carve it out in the shape of a snowflake, stick a white sheet to it, then just stick some beautiful button to it or the glittered buttons
Little Snowflake brings together the same team that created the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star video to tell a short story of a snowman brought to life by the magic and beauty of snowfall. As he tries to ice skate, he learns the value of perseverance and teamwork. Along the way, we get to learn and review parts of the body (head, nose, hand). I hope you love it!
Winter is about to finish and I don’t want to say it goodbaye without looking back over the last month and remembering some significant moments we have spent working on our Winter Project.
This topic was explored through songs, games and art crafts which allowed them to learn a lot of things related to this season (clothes, weather, instructions, numbers, colours, feelings,..) in an easy and fun way.
O inverno está a piques de rematar e non quero despedilo sen antes botar unha ollada ao traballo que estivemos facendo este último mes co noso proxecto sobre o inverno. A través de cancións, xogos e manualidades traballamos esta temática e aprendemos conceptos relacionados con esta estación(o tempo, a roupa,…), instruccións e revisamos as cores e os números dun xeito sinxelo e divertido. Pero asegúrovos que non hai nada mellor que unha guerra de bolas de neve para arrancar un gran sorriso aos cativos. Comprobado!!!!!
Spring with its longer and warmer days is around the corner! But, winter has its own good things, too. One of these is to have fun playing in the snow and making snowmen with our friends or family. Why don’t enjoy winter at school?
That’s why, my 6th Grade Infants School worked this topic what allowed them to learn about feelings, weather, winter clothes, numbers, and so on, through poetry.
Here you have the final products of this brief school project.
We have just finished our short project about winter based on the book called The first Day of Winter. We enjoyed creating our own books, building up a snowman and learning some fun songs about snowflakes and snowmen. Take a look at this video.
Last Friday, we could see the first snowflakes falling down. It was an amazing and freezing day!!! So, I decided to take the opportunity to present a new book called “The first day of winter” by Denise Fleming to my kindergarteners which helps us review numbers and colours and introduce some winter clothings.
O venres pasado, puidemos ver as primeiras folerpas de neve. Foi un día incrible e xeado!! Asi que , decidín aproveitar a oportunidade para presentar aos nenos de infantil un novo conto titulado “O primeiro día do inverno”, da autora Denise Fleming, o cal nos permita repasar os números a as cores e presentar algunhas palabras relacionadas coa roupa do inverno.
And here you have a funny song to warm a cold day of winter.Enjoy it!

“It’s snowing, said boy with dog.” “It’s only a snowflake,” said grandfather with beard.”
The sky is grey and it is very cold but, as snowflakes slowly come down, one by one, people in the city ignore them.Only a boy and his dog believe that it is going to snow.
After reading this wonderfull book, why don’t we sing this song? Along the way, children get learn and review parts of the body.
Little Snowflake Lyrics:
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Little snowflake falling from the sky.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,
falling, falling, falling, falling…falling on my head.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Little snowflake falling from the sky.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,
falling, falling, falling, falling…falling on my nose.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Little snowflake falling from the sky.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake.
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling,
falling, falling, falling, falling…falling in my hand.
Falling on my head.
Falling on my nose.
Falling in my hand.
Snowflake, snowflake, little snowflake…
We hope you enjoy this kids song.
