Christmas Preschool Circle Time | Five Lesson Plans, Chants, and Crafts
Plan five Christmas circle time lessons for preschool, pre-K, or kindergarten. Explore tree decorations, reindeer stories, repeating colors, giving and helping, and family traditions. Each lesson includes a learning goal, a short original story to read aloud, discussion prompts, a craft, and an optional follow-up activity.
This 32-page US Letter PDF includes five lesson plans, five original rhythmic chants with motions, 18 cut-apart picture props, five vocabulary posters, five craft templates, five follow-up worksheets, and teacher answer notes. Children build a paper tree, make a reindeer puppet, decorate a pattern wreath, fold a picture note, and draw a keepsake ornament. Follow-up pages cover tracing, comparing quantities, patterns, sequencing, and drawing with a short writing prompt.
Use all five lessons in one week or choose a single lesson. Allow about 15–20 minutes for circle time and another 10–20 minutes for a craft. Print at actual size and gather crayons, paper, child-safe scissors, and glue. An empty box and scrap paper are helpful for the gift-wrapping demonstration.
