How Tos about Create a Winter Holiday Card!
Plan a collaborative class holiday card project
Engage your students by inviting the whole class to work together on a winter holiday card. Collaboration builds community and helps every student feel included in the celebration.
Assign card sections to small groups
Divide students into small groups and assign each group a part of the card—front, inside left, or back. This ensures everyone contributes and lets students focus on their strengths, such as drawing, writing, or designing.
Discuss theme and message as a class
Guide a short class discussion to choose a unifying theme or message for your card. Encourage ideas that represent your classroom values or celebrate the diversity of winter holidays.
Combine all sections in Storyboard That
Have each group create their card section in Storyboard That, then merge the designs into one storyboard. Review the final card together to make sure it looks cohesive and everyone is happy with the result.
Print, fold, and share your class card
Print and fold the finished card following the standard instructions. Display it in your classroom or deliver it to another class, the principal, or a community partner to spread holiday cheer!
