Holiday Activity Guide

This holiday season, you and your family are going to be spending a lot of time together. Instead of letting your children stay glued to a screen, let me introduce you to 4-H Activity guides.

4-H Activity Guides are guides through the Clover initiative designed for hands-on learning anywhere. There are many different categories of Activity Guides including:

  • 4-H at Home Activity Guide – Grades: Pre-K-12
  • Explore Food Systems – Grades: 6-12
  • Gardening at Home – Grades: 3-8
  • Get Ready to Pay for College – Grades: 9-12
  • Emotional Wellness – Grades: 6-12
  • Grow & Make Your Own Food – Grades: Pre-K-12
  • Health Rocks! ® – Grades: 6-12
  • Make Healthy Food Choices – Grades: K-5
  • Healthy Living Guide – Grades: Pre-K-12
  • Holiday Activity Guide – Grades: 1-12
  • Inspire Kids to Do – Grades: Pre-K-12
  • The Power of Mindfulness – Grades: 6-12
  • Pollinators – Grades: Pre-K-10
  • The Nurturing Power of Nature – Grades: Pre-K-5
  • Veterinary Science: Stopping Sickness – Grades: 6-8
  • Beef Cattle Nutrition – Grades: 3-8
  • Heartland Bees – Grades: 2-8

The books are 100% free. However, the activities in these books do have differing price ranges to be able to complete. Choose the activity that works for you! These books offer budget-friendly ways to keep your child learning at home. They also range in activities from Pre-K to 12th grade, so anyone can have fun!

Today, I want to highlight the Holiday Activity Guide, which is made up of activities perfect for this time of year! 

Below I have attached some of my favorite activities from this book:

A picture of the directions for making popcorn balls. A picture of the directions for making cards or care packages for veterans and a new year's wish pillow.

A picture of the directions for making STEM-themed ornaments.

To have access to this guide, here are some step-by-step instructions:

  1. Navigate to this page.
  2. There, you will find a quick form to fill out to gain access to all their activity guides. When I say quick, it took me less than a minute to complete!
  3. After that, the page will load to reveal all the activity guides! Download the one labeled: Holiday Activity Guide. Then you will have access to the activities I mentioned, and so much more!
  4. Contact your 4-H agent at 4h@scgov.net if you have any questions!

and of course… Happy Holidays!
