The story indicates that no one quite knew why the Grinch hated Christmas so much. Have your students make guess as to why the Grinch hated Christmas.


Cindy-Lou was easily fooled by the Grinch. Create a Venn Diagram with you class. Have the students list the similarities of the two in the middle circle and the differences on the outside circles. Your class wouldn't be fooled by the Grinch!

The Theme of the Grinch is all about the Joy that Christmas brings... Make a large pattern with the word Joy in bubble letters. Have you students trace the pattern on colored paper. Where the O is, have the children place a circle picture of themselves to make the hole in the O. Then have the students brainstorm things that bring them joy. Then they may write the things that bring them Joy on the letters.
