EmpowerED Endeavors’ Engagement Strategies Holiday Pack is a K–12 classroom resource designed to keep learning active and meaningful when energy dips before and after the holidays. It gives teachers ready-to-use movement, collaboration, and discussion routines plus reflection and planning tools so instruction remains rigorous, student-centered, and fun.
 
This digital toolkit helps K–12 educators sustain student motivation, focus, and community during the holiday season. Inside, educators will find grade-band specific movement activities, collaborative tasks, and discussion strategies that can be used across content areas and adapted well beyond December.
 
The pack includes a full activity list organized by K–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12, along with optional video suggestions to support brain breaks and active learning. Educators also receive student and teacher reflection templates, exit tickets, engagement checklists, and a one-page weekly engagement planner to plan, monitor, and adjust engagement strategies over time.
 
Grounded in research about movement, collaboration, and student voice, this resource is ideal for teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders who want practical, low-prep ways to keep students thinking, talking, and moving, especially when holiday distractions are high.
