Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, joyous Kwanzaa and happy New Year.
To celebrate the season, we’ve rounded up 15 prompts we’ve written over the years that you can use for writing or discussion in the classroom, among your friends or at your holiday gatherings. You might talk about your beloved family traditions, weigh in on a seasonal debate, write a holiday-themed short story or poem, or reflect on the year behind you and prepare for the one ahead.
Each of these prompts was inspired by a New York Times article, essay or image, and many of them are still open for comment for students 13 or older.
