I don’t know about yours, but my students need all the practice they can get with inferring and predicting skills. This area is sooo hard to teach so I jump at every opportunity to present these skills to my students. The fact that they have a “Christmas theme” and are fun are bonuses!
Here’s some fun ideas for you to incorporate into your inference activities next week:
1. Ornaments Video. Use this fun video and pause at various points to have students predict what Santa will do next.
2. The Snowman. This video is probably a little too long for most of us to play during therapy but I’ve shown 5 minutes of it, pausing and asking questions. It only plays music so students need to infer what is happening just by watching actions.
3. “The Christmas Miracle.” This book is great for older elementary students to use on inferencing, predicting and foreshadowing.
4. And don’t forget about my Christmas Inferential and Problem Solving Activity Pack.
This fun pack has activities such as guessing what’s in a stocking, cause and effect and taking off Santa’s disguise!
My students will be busy this last week of school making inferences and predictions. What about yours?
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!

December 16, 2013 at 8:05 pmI showed the Ornament video to a couple of first graders today and they loved it! I plan on using it the rest of this week. It’s so cute and a great way to work on /wh/ questions and inferences. Thanks!
