Check out this The Polar Express website! There are tons of hidden gems here to explore, from a snowflake maker to screen savers and wallpapers. This would be a great way to get your students excited about either reading the book or watching the movie. All aboard The Polar Express!

The Le@rning Federation out of Australia provides digital resources aligned with Australian standards.There are several categories in the sample curriculum content section that you should definitely check out! Number Trains, from the Early Years category, is a wonderful interactive for learning to count numbers 1-10 represented as words, numerals, and dots! Place the carriages in the correct order in groups of four to make the train move along the track. Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the rest of the free activities.
