Activity Calendar

Looking for ideas in your program? These fun celebrations, both familiar and unusual, will spark a number of creative ideas for lesson planning. You’ll also find links to Web pages explaining more about the subject matter of certain holidays.

Some holidays are followed by the graphics depicted below. These indicate a corresponding activity in a Toolbox Training activity card set.

If a holiday is followed by any of the images above, this indicates a corresponding activity from one of the Toolbox Training card sets. If you already own the set, hover over the graphic for the specific card code of the activity. For example, if you see the cooking pot graphic and hover over it and it says “cooking card A5” then you know that the A5 activity of the cooking set – Make Your Own Cola – is a suggested activity for that holiday.

If you don’t own this card set, click on the graphic to go to the activity card page to get more details about that card set.
