A Red Banner and Four Weeks of Holiday Learning
A red banner with a black shadow carries Holiday Homeschool Schedule in white serif. Family Name, School Year and Holidays Covered lines sit below. A table with black headers lists Week, Holiday, Activity, What We’ll Learn, What We Need and Notes/Ideas for four weeks, each with three activities, such as a crafting or reading activity, a cooking activity and an outdoor activity. Red and black bars close the page.
Four Weeks, Three Activities Each
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait. Each week covers one holiday with three activity types, which keeps learning varied and fun.
Holiday Placeholders
Every cell holds a bracketed placeholder, such as Holiday Name or List materials. Replace them with your holidays, such as Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah or Eid, and the activities you plan.
Setting Up the Holiday Plan
- List the holidays.
- Choose three activities each week.
- Write what children will learn.
- List materials.
- Add notes.
Learning Through Celebrations
Holidays are a chance to learn about history, cultures, cooking and crafts. A holiday month is a great time to slow down formal lessons and learn through doing. Children often remember these activities for years.
Cooking as a Lesson
Holiday cooking teaches measuring, fractions and following instructions. Doubling or halving a recipe turns baking into a real maths lesson, and reading the steps builds comprehension.
Celebrating Many Cultures
Include holidays from other cultures to broaden understanding. Libraries often have picture books about festivals from around the world, which make a good starting point.
Printing Red and Black
The red banner prints boldly. A black and white copy also works if you want to save ink.
Community Service Ideas
Week four suggests community service, such as donating food or visiting neighbours. Talking about why you help others turns the activity into a lesson in empathy.
Family Game Nights
A game night can be part of learning too. Board games teach counting, strategy and taking turns, so they fit neatly into a holiday learning plan.
Using the Holiday Schedule
Plan it a month before the holidays.
