Christmas 2024 Teaching Resources

Bring Christmas to your classroom with printable colouring pages, holiday craft templates, fun games and more Christmas activities for your class — created by teachers, for teachers!

The end of the year is a busy time, but the teachers on the Teach Starter team have created an extensive collection of teaching resources to help you get your classroom Christmas-ready! Each resource in this collection has undergone our rigorous review process to ensure it's ready for your classroom too.

Not feeling Christmas-ready yourself? Our teacher team has put together some ideas to help make this holiday the best one yet in your classroom!

When Is Christmas 2024?

You probably don't need us to tell you that Christmas is celebrated on 25 December yearly! In 2024, Christmas will be observed on a Wednesday.

Of course, schools will be closed for school holidays on that date.

How Can I Decorate My Classroom For Christmas?

Want to bring Christmas into your classroom but already have so much to do? Here are some simple ideas you can try:

1. Display your favourite Christmas picture books as classroom decor. They'll be easy to access for your read-aloud!
2. Make paper Christmas tree ornaments with your students and display them in the classroom. Students can take them home to give as gifts to their parents.
3. Plan a Christmas random acts of kindness challenge for your students, and display the challenges on your classroom wall.

What Should I Do With My Class for Christmas?

Get your students ready to make gifts to take home or explore fun activities for assembly.

Many of these Christmas activities can be completed with simple materials from around the classroom. From whole-class Christmas challenges to individual Christmas mindfulness activities, we have everything you need to get into the festive spirit this holiday season.
