Using these hot chocolate activities can help shake off the winter blues in your classroom and incorporate fun back into the classroom for your students!
Wintertime is tough for me personally and professionally. Something about the cold weather and the dark days make me want to stay in the couch, under the covers with a warm blanket and my Christmas tree. Of course,e this isn’t reality and as much as I’d love to stay cozied up on the couch until springtime, that just isn’t realistic.
Instead, I like to find ways to bring fun into the classroom with different winter activities to make the classroom fun.
We’ve created an entire packet full of hot chocolate activities to help you make your classroom fun during the cold winter days!

Have your students use marshmallows to practice their math skills! Using my “how many hot chocolates” counting sheets, have the students place marshmallows on the counting sheets to practice counting.

Use m&m candies with the hot chocolate subtraction and addition sheets to help students with math! They can place and m&m on each of the hot chocolate mugs to help with with completing the math problem.
