Fun Christmas Writing Prompts & December Writing Crafts

Use these Fun Christmas Writing Prompts & December Writing Crafts to celebrate holidays with your class and family. Here are six adorable December writing crafts to use with your kindergarten students this holiday season! These kindergarten writing crafts are the perfect way to celebrate the festive season. Best of all, they are no-prep and students will get to show off their creative side with these engaging writing prompts!

Of course you write letters to Santa or about your Christmas wish list, but I adore writing exercises that get young kids to smile and reflect a little.

I prefer to use fun holidays or themes to practice the various writing genres, such as how-to writing, opinion writing, etc., as you may have read in my November Writing Crafts post. You can write on how to wrap a gift or how to decorate a Christmas tree for some entertaining HOW TO writing. Since they're skills youngsters already possess, writing should come effortlessly to them, allowing you to assist them in concentrating on the writing's structure (first, next, last, etc.)
