Bring seasonal cheer to your literacy block with this 12 Days of Christmas: Theme Edition Boom Deck! Students read twelve short, original passages inspired by each day’s gift and determine the theme of each text. Every passage is crafted to be concise, engaging, and age-appropriate for upper elementary and middle school readers. The multiple-choice questions include strong distractors that require students to think carefully about the clues in the text before selecting an answer. This deck is perfect for reinforcing theme, supporting close reading skills, and encouraging students to use textual evidence—without overwhelming them with long passages. It works well for whole-group practice, small-group instruction, literacy centers, early finishers, or independent review during the holiday season. A bright, cheerful voice-over option makes the deck even more inviting for students who benefit from auditory support. Whether you use it as a quick warm-up, a festive December activity, or a meaningful reading check-in, this deck makes practicing theme both fun and accessible for grades 5–6.
