✂️ NOTE: This activity is very similar to these three lessons: Fall Feelings & Coping Skills, Halloween Feelings & Coping Skills, and Valentine’s Day Feelings & Coping Skills, so I would not recommend teaching them both to the same class in the same school year (unless your kiddos need a review!)

✂️ NOTE 2: This lesson does not include any Christmas scenarios or themes so it is appropriate for use in a public school.
