Last year, I printed a stack of Christmas booster books and felt a deep sense of guilt as I watched my students from culturally diverse backgrounds complete them. Yes, I had permission from parents... but still, I felt awful watching them quietly work, disengaged, uncomfortable, and unseen.

This year, I wanted different. I searched and searched, but I couldn’t find something that was truly grab, print, and go. Something I could offer all students so they could engage in the same activities - just without a theme that made the tasks feel excluding or disengaging.

So I made it.

Two separate books.

Identical in activity structure and learning outcomes.

One with a Christmas theme, and one… without.

With this pack, I’m ready for that slightly awkward time toward the end of the year when students are tired, the ‘heavy’ learning is finished, and we’re ready to consolidate our way to the holidays. Students receive a steady stream of engaging activities, and I gain little pockets of time to begin packing down the room while they work (because these activities are intentionally designed to be completed independently!).

This pack includes:

• 2 complete books of highly engaging activities that embed fine-motor skills and consolidate learning
• 38 activities in each book (with every activity having a matching non-Christmas-themed partner!)
• Of these 38 activities:
• 12 Literacy activities
• 12 Numeracy and Mathematics activities
• 5 Science and HASS activities
• 8 activities that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving
• Activities aligned to the Australian Curriculum v9
• Clear, visual, at-a-glance instructions so students know exactly what they need for each activity
• Activities designed to maximise independence, buying you back small but valuable pockets of time

If you’ve been…

• Feeling guilty about asking culturally diverse students to engage in activities that conflict with their cultural backgrounds (even with parent permission)
• Exhausted from answering endless “What do I do now?” questions as end-of-year routines change and students finish assessments and crafts at different times
• Wanting independent activities that genuinely buy you short pockets of time
• Looking for an end-of-year activity book suitable for multi-aged settings

…then this resource is made for you too.
