Product Description

These Christmas Sensory Bin Riddles, part of the popular "Hey Riddle Riddle" series, target inferencing, listening comprehension, and Christmas vocabulary through a fun, hands-on sensory bin format. Students listen to a rhyming riddle, find the matching ornament in the sensory bin, and put it on the Christmas tree provided — adding an extra interactive, fine motor layer. Perfect for the month of December.

🎄 Perfect for:

  • Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting inferencing, attributes, feature/function, and Wh- Question goals
  • Special Education teachers building Christmas, winter, and December units
  • Autism classrooms working on inferencing AND sensory integration in one activity
  • Occupational Therapists working on sensory regulation and fine motor skills (placing ornaments)
  • ABA therapists running discrete trial inferencing and listening comprehension programs
  • Early Childhood, Pre-K, and Kindergarten teachers
  • ELL/ESL teachers building descriptive English vocabulary
  • Homeschool families with young learners

🎁 What's Included:

  • A set of Christmas themed rhyming riddles
  • Christmas ornament/object matching pieces
  • A Christmas tree to place the matched ornaments on (interactive bonus!)
  • Multiple-use format — sensory bin, small group, or independent center
  • Picture and word components for differentiated student levels

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Making inferences, attribute identification, feature/function/class, descriptive vocabulary, Christmas vocabulary (snowman, ornament, tree, Santa, candy cane, and more), listening comprehension, Wh- Questions, riddle solving, sensory integration, fine motor skills (digging and placing ornaments), word-to-picture matching, expressive and receptive language, and following directions.

Sample Riddle:

"He's built in the snow

and stands up while he can.

But sunshine will melt him —

he's just a _______." (snowman)

How to Use:

Fill a sensory bin with Christmas-themed sensory fill (white rice "snow," fake snow, jingle bells, pom-poms, shredded paper). Hide the ornament pieces inside. The teacher or therapist reads each riddle aloud, and students dig through the bin to find the matching ornament — then place it on the Christmas tree provided. The dig-and-decorate mechanic adds extra engagement, fine motor practice, and a satisfying "build the tree" payoff.

Ways to Use:

  • Christmas, winter, and December thematic units
  • Speech therapy inferencing and Wh- Question sessions
  • Inferencing IEP goal data collection
  • Independent work systems (TEACCH)
