Groundhog Day Activities

I never remember it is Groundhog Day until it is already here. Every year I vow to remember earlier so I have at least on fun thing to do with my students on that day. Last year, I created a book about groundhogs and Groundhog Day. It is a simple book of 12 pages that can be printed and stapled along the middle. There are a few highlighted vocabulary words for discussion as well as loads of facts about the groundhog. And the final page asks the open ended questions, “What do you think? Would you like the groundhog to see its shadow or not?”

This book is available at our TPT Store. Click the link below for more information:
