Note for Teachers and Parents: Please check each website before using it with students. Over time, websites may change, have broken links, or contain advertisements. If you come across something that needs to be changed, email me, and I will replace it!
DIRECTIONS FOR STUDENTS:

2. Research using the following websites:
-

Typical weather in that location. Click on “Food” under that country, and you will find the climate and history of the country: CLIMATE AND HISTORY
-

-
How to say Merry Christmas in that country’s language: MERRY CHRISTMAS
3. Decorate a doll with your country’s traditional clothing.
Use a doll template to dress the doll in traditional clothing from that country. Google “Traditional Clothing in _____” (their country) or use the images below. (Click the image to enlarge it.) I also have a Pinterest board that helps with this section, but most schools can’t access it. Christmas Around the World Pinterest Board.
Look how cute some of my students made their dolls!
If you are interested in having the booklet, templates, and PDF Webquest, Click Here: Christmas Around the World Project It is also included in my larger literacy bundle: Christmas Literacy Bundle
Here are some examples:
If you have time or your school allows students to bring in food, hold an International Food Fair. There is always so much food, and you will be surprised at what they might try! I usually offer extra credit to anyone who brings in food.
Happy Holidays!
