Authors - Festive trends

Take a look at the search trends and resources in demand over
the last few years to help you to prepare your resources for
this year's festive period. 

Female teacher sat with laptop reading list of trends in front of trending graph. A Christmas tree is also displayed.

To support Tes authors with resource sharing, we’ve created an overview of current and past trending search terms around the festive period (between 1 December and 15 January) to help make your resource authoring as simple and informed as we can.  

To give a more granular insight into the user trends we've provided a breakdown of the top six search terms for several subjects on Tes. As we have done in previous trends campaigns, we've also provided the trends from some different areas of the world, so that you can target specific markets if you wish to. 

We will also be updating this page with the top search terms over the last 24 hours every weekday (excluding bank holidays), so that you can stay on top of trends in real-time in the lead up to Christmas. 

Please note that this page is best viewed on desktop.
