Free winter resources

Here are just some of the activities included:

• Winter word searches – Challenge children to find a range of winter-themed words. Words can be written forwards or backwards.
• Winter craft activities – Make a range of winter decorations, including a hanging snowflake, a pine cone bauble, paper fans, winter quills and a tree-shaped ornament.
• Winter recipes – Children can enjoy making several winter recipes, including glittery snow dough, gingerbread people and bird food cakes.
• Winter colouring – Encourage mindful concentration with these beautiful animal colouring sheets.
• Winter treasure hunts – Get children up and moving. In KS1, children follow a picture map to find picture cards hidden around their outdoor space. In KS2, children follow picture cards and clues, finishing their treasure hunt with an optional comforting drink of hot chocolate.
• Winter games – Encourage children to create games using the winter picture cards. Games might include snap, matching or memory games.
• Winter poems – There’s haiku writing for KS1 and winter poems for KS2, starting with word work and finishing with creative writing.
• Spot the difference – Challenge children to spot the differences in these winter-themed pictures.

We hope your children enjoy these winter wonders and that they help you a little bit along the way until the end of an exhausting term.
