It’s almost a brand new year and for most teachers, if not all, that means we are approaching or already on Winter Break. Even though we aren’t in class to ring in the New Year with our students, that doesn’t mean that we can’t celebrate the New Year with them when we return from break! These 20 New Year’s Activities for Kids are a perfect way to start the new year with a ton of fun as soon as the kids return to school!
*Pair with our New Year’s Writing Center Activities!
