If you’re a middle school teacher, you already know: the week before winter break has its own personality.

Students are buzzing.
Schedules are all over the place.

And if one more kid asks, “Are we doing anything fun today?” you’re switching careers.

That stretch of December where you’re supposed to “finish units,” “keep kids learning,” and “hold it together”… feels a little unrealistic, right?

That’s exactly why I created the Before Winter Break Survival Bundle — so you don’t have to be a cruise director, a full-time entertainer, and a last-minute activity designer all at once.

Let’s talk about how this bundle actually helps you breathe.

A Warm-Up Routine That Runs Itself All Month Long

Every class starts the same way:
✔ Daily agenda slide
✔ Attendance question
✔ Kids settle in while you take roll

It’s simple, predictable, and perfect for those high-energy days when kids come in talking at full volume.

You don’t have to come up with a warm-up every morning.

It’s already there — and students actually look forward to answering the question each day.

A Brain Break That Feels Productive (Not Like You’re Pretending to Teach)

The Countdown to Winter Break slides are my favorite part.

Each slide has a quick SEL prompt you can use anytime you feel the room shifting.

Use it in the middle of class when they need to reset…
or at the end when you need five quiet minutes to regroup.

Instead of just counting down the days, students actually reflect on the first semester — what they learned, what they’re proud of, and what they want to do better next year.

That’s the good stuff.

Activities That Make the Last Week Feel… Manageable

The week before break is where things usually fall apart.

This is where the bundle shines:

Build-a-Snowman

Students can create their own worksheets
or complete the version you prepare.

It works for ANY subject, and it keeps them focused longer than you’d expect.

Snowflakes on the Roof

This one saves the day when the class is lively.
It’s structured, team-based, and perfect for reviewing anything you’ve taught in December.

And the kids?
They LOVE this game.

KMP Slides + Pickles Template

This is your last-day-before-break superpower.

A calm, structured choice board that lets students finish assignments, do meaningful options, and stay productive while you tie up loose ends.

No free-for-all.
No “What do we do now?”
Just… peace.

December Doesn’t Have to Feel Like You’re Surviving

You deserve to walk into school the week before break and think,
“Yeah… we’re good.”

The Before Winter Break Survival Bundle gives you everything you need to make that happen.

✔ Daily Agenda Slides with fun themed attendance questions

All done for you.
