Grab our simple winter book pages and use it in your classroom to encourage kids to create their own winter books! You can make individual books or a whole class book. It is perfect for this time of year and is suitable for kindergarten or first grade.
Winter has arrived bringing with it cold days and snow for many places. Unlike many adults, children seem to thrive in this season. They don’t seem to mind the cold and there is always hot chocolate, right? Why not take the opportunity to have them capture something of the season in some fun writing activities?
We’ve created a free writing book to encourage your students to write about winter. Most children have experiences about winter to share. Kids this age just LOVE telling stories from their own experiences. A book provides the opportunity for them to do that.

I would recommend that you do some brainstorming with the whole group. You can start by sharing some fabulous winter books. Check out our list of great winter reads.
Then invite the students to talk about winter. Ask questions like
- What do you know about winter?
- What is your favorite thing to do in the winter?
Continue the discussion by brainstorming a list of winter words. You might ask
- What words can you use to describe winter?
- What do you wear when you go outside in winter?
Write the words on a large chart or whiteboard. It might be helpful to sort them into categories. Leave the words up for the children to use when they are writing. These are such a cute and helpful free printable for both preschool / prek and kindergarten age kids!
