Here is a great way to introduce your students to the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and create an easy craft project.
-counting & cardinality (count the red candles, count the green candles, count all of the candles)
-subitizing (subitize the red candles, subitize the green candles)
-addition (add the red candles, green candles, and black candle)
-greater than, less than, & equal sets (Are there more or less red candles than black candles? Are
there any equal sets of candles?)
-fine motor skills (cutting, pasting)
-sequence and ordering (glue the candles to create the pattern of 3 reds, 1 black, 3 reds)
-shapes (rectangle)
-1:1 correspondence (there is one flame for each candle)
Your students should cut out the 7 principles and glue one to each candle.
Then, they color the candles to match the color words written on them.
They should color the 7 flames and add them to the top of each candle.
Then, they cut and glue the candles (in order: 3 reds, 1 black, 3 greens) to the brown rectangle base.
The base is just a 12" X 4.5" rectangle of brown construction paper.
You can teach all of these skills with this simple creativity:
-color words red, green, and black-counting & cardinality (count the red candles, count the green candles, count all of the candles)
-subitizing (subitize the red candles, subitize the green candles)
-addition (add the red candles, green candles, and black candle)
-greater than, less than, & equal sets (Are there more or less red candles than black candles? Are
there any equal sets of candles?)
-fine motor skills (cutting, pasting)
-sequence and ordering (glue the candles to create the pattern of 3 reds, 1 black, 3 reds)
-shapes (rectangle)
-1:1 correspondence (there is one flame for each candle)
Here Is How To Create It:
If you copy the last 2 pages of the download, you can print them on white card stock or construction paper.Your students should cut out the 7 principles and glue one to each candle.
Then, they color the candles to match the color words written on them.
They should color the 7 flames and add them to the top of each candle.
Then, they cut and glue the candles (in order: 3 reds, 1 black, 3 greens) to the brown rectangle base.
The base is just a 12" X 4.5" rectangle of brown construction paper.

Ask your students if they would rather be a reindeer, an elf, a gingerbread man, or a snowman. The reasons they give you will make you laugh. |
Each child will have a different opinion about which character they would rather be! |
