Seasonal and holiday activities for middle and high school

Holidays are when students are least able to focus and you most need something engaging. These activities keep the seasonal fun but put real skills underneath it: budgeting a Thanksgiving dinner, shopping for holiday gifts on a fixed amount, planning a Halloween party or setting goals for the new year.

Awareness weeks are covered too, with Red Ribbon Week, Bullying Prevention Month, Veterans Day and Día de los Muertos resources.
