Holiday traditions bring special meaning to our celebrations and make them festive.   Traditions can involve food, music, decorations, stories, etc.  A fun holiday activity for kids is to choose words from various traditions/celebrations and interpret them through pantomimed movements.  Here are some ideas for the holiday season:

Move as if you are: a bell, a melting candle, a doll or stuffed animal, marshmallows floating on hot chocolate,  an ice skater, a spinning Dreidel, a twinkling star, a reindeer, a melting snowman, a toy train, a jack in the box, etc.

Have the children brainstorm and think of more ideas. 

Another fun holiday activity involves making cookies.  Refer to these 4 articles: Children Dancing as Holiday Cookies. . .
