Winter Break Project - Tic-Tac-Snow

Looking for a super fun way to keep students’ minds engaged over the winter break? Well, this resource is designed to do just that! The Tic-Tac-Snow Winter Break Project is filled with 9 learning activities that will have students reading, writing, and practicing critical thinking skills in unique and creative ways!

Here’s how it works…Each student will receive a Tic-Tac-Snow board filled with learning tasks. Over the winter break, they must select 3 tasks to complete. The tasks they select just need to be in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row (like tic-tac-toe). Each task has a detailed directions page and a task worksheet so that students can complete the assignment independently. When they return from break, they’ll hand in their work for a grade.

But...that’s not all. Students are encouraged to do more than 3 assignments. In fact if they complete 5 assignments over the winter break they can choose a prize card when they return to school. Those students that complete all 9 tasks will be entered into a drawing for a fantastic Grand Prize. This project had been a HUGE hit in my classroom. Students love the activities and I love that their minds are still working while on school break.

This Winter Break Project is absolutely ready to print-and-go. It has everything you need!
