Each of these 20 task cards presents a set of 5 words or phrases associated with the winter holidays. Four of them are further connected by a particular category, and one of them is a misfit. Students are challenged to identify the category of the four related terms and pinpoint the word or phrase that doesn’t fit.
The file comes with a half-sheet answer page, fully answer keys, a cover card that can double as a container label, and a student instruction card.
