Christmas on Country: Free First Nations Classroom Activities for the End of the Year

As we move into the final weeks of school, teachers and students are carrying that familiar end of year tiredness. Classrooms get busy, energy runs high, and we begin looking for simple, meaningful activities to finish the year gently.

At TIPIAC, we believe this is a beautiful time to bring First Nations perspectives into your classroom in calm, creative ways. Christmas in Australia doesn’t need snow and pine trees, it can be shaped by the plants, animals, and seasons of the Country we stand on.

To support teachers, we’ve created a free Christmas on Country card pack.
It’s designed to help students celebrate the season while honouring place, culture, and nature.

Share Your Classroom Creations

We’d love to see how your students bring their Christmas on Country cards to life.

A gentle reminder:
Please only post photos that show hands, artwork, or the creative process, no student faces. We want to honour creativity while keeping our young ones safe and protected.

We can’t wait to see what your students create with Country.

Walking Gently Into the Holidays

Christmas is a busy time, but it can also be a moment to reconnect with the land, slow the pace, and create with intention. We hope this resource helps you close out the year with calm, culture, and creativity.

If you’d like more First Nations perspective resources for the 2026 school year, reach out anytime. TIPIAC is here to walk alongside you.
