I, personally, am a huge fan of the traditional Christmas wreath. Holly, burlap, pine needles and ribbon galore – I go crazy for Christmas!
Here at Teach Starter, we thought our teachers and students might like their classroom doors to be decorated by something a little more personalised.
A lot of the time you can get away with just hanging a festive wreath and calling it a day, but sometimes that just doesn't cut the Christmas cake…err, mustard.
We've featured 9 of our favourite merry and bright seasonal door decorations to help you and your students bring the spirit of Christmas to your classroom!
Christmas Door Decorations to Jingle Up Your Classroom
Don't restrict these to the classroom door – if curious little hands are likely to undo the hard work you and your class have put into building these door displays, why not create a feature wall inside your room?
There's something here to bring the Christmas cheer to everyone!
Santa's Nice List
Let your students know just how beautiful they are by putting them on Santa's nice list! Each student can write their own name on the door to make themselves feel proud of their positive behaviour.
You will need:
- Christmas wrapping paper for backing
- 4 sheets of A4 paper for Santa's 'Nice List'
- 1 length of tinsel – large enough to frame your door
- bunting (we've used Teach Starter's Historical Cream – Letter and Numbers Bunting for a nice traditional look)
- stars (from our Christmas Picture Templates resource).
To make Santa's 'Nice List' we used Word to print a title on a plain piece of paper and stuck it to the second piece of paper end to end. We rolled up two sheets for the curly ends and with a little sticky tape magic – voila!
A Santa-worthy scroll.
Combine this with your class behaviour management strategy to push your students to reach their goals.
Once a goal is reached, their name is added to the list!
Oh, Christmas Tree!
We've repurposed a number of our Christmas resources as door decorations to help you and your students dress up this jolly Christmas tree!
You will need:
- large coloured paper roll for backing
- green kite-shaped pieces of paper for the tree
- gold paper star (why not try our Angel Tree Topper Template, Santa Tree Topper Template, Snowman Tree Topper Template or Elf Tree Topper Template for something different!)
- student-coloured resources for decorating the tree (we have so many fabulous resources you could use for this!) Choose from our Classroom Christmas Decorations Pack, Colouring In Christmas Decorations, Christmas Picture Templates, or Christmas Mindful Colouring in Sheets!
- 'gifts' for under the tree made from squares of wrapping paper and stripping roll
- Merry Christmas Banner.
This tree would make a great display for any wall in your classroom! Use it to gather your class's Secret Santa gifts if you're short on space and don't have room for a real tree in the classroom.
Letters to Santa
Combine literacy with your Christmas display with our Letter to Santa Writing Page. Santa's elves will love helping collect his mail from this classroom door decoration!
You will need:
- large coloured paper roll for backing
- Letter to Santa Writing Page
- up-cycled cardboard box for a mailbox (we used an old cereal box, some crepe paper and cotton balls!)
- cardboard roll for a mailbox post (ours has been decorated with crepe paper and some ribbon)
- Busy Little Elves heading using our Christmas – Letter, Number and Punctuation Set
- class name using Historical Cream – Letter and Numbers Bunting
- elves – ask your students to colour these adorable Create an 'Elfie Selfie' templates and attach a photograph of their faces! (alternatively, have students play our Roll an Elf Activity to create their own hilarious elf character)
- green triangles to make grass (we used scraps of paper left over from our Christmas tree door decoration!)
- scrap paper snowflakes.
Why not use our Santa in a Chimney Writing page, Christmas Present Writing Page and Reindeer Writing Page for other Christmas-based writing activities?
Older students will love writing letters to Santa about the meaning of Christmas on these resources.
