This activity is perfect for any winter month or as a Christmas Project Based Learning unit.
All of the hard work is done for you. Simply print the NO PREP pages, and let your students make the decisions in this fun Start a Hot Cocoa Stand Project Based Learning Unit!
You can use all the packet for a longer project time-frame, or pick and choose the components that work best for your classroom and schedule. I do suggest having an actual hot-cocoa party at the end of the unit….. I mean, who doesn’t love hot cocoa?!! I’ve even provided some bonus banners for you to use as a decoration.
While this unit is perfect for celebrating Christmas in the classroom, it is also ideal for classrooms not able to bring Christmas into the classroom.
