Until the holidays the class elf lives in your classroom. Every morning a task card waits on the desk, and the class moves, solves a riddle or does something kind.
📦 What's in the Set
The class elf moves into the classroom: a welcome letter to the class, task cards for movement, riddles and good deeds, a class certificate and an elf-mail mailbox sign to stick on a shoebox.
All Pages in This Set
A letter “Hello, dear class!” from the class elf, who traveled through the keyhole into the classroom and leaves a task card each day.
Cards for movement (such as ten jumping jacks), riddles with answers and good deeds that the elf leaves on the desk in the morning.
A certificate for the class with a date and the elf's signature, plus an “Elf Mail” sign to stick on a shoebox with a letter slot.
- Printer and paper (US Letter or A4; heavy cardstock (65–110 lb) for sturdy pieces)
- Colored pencils or markers
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Shoebox for the mailbox
- Desk or windowsill for the task card
🏡 Setup Idea at the Elf Door
Put a small shoebox with a letter slot and the “Elf Mail” sign on a shelf. Lay the welcome letter on the desk the morning the elf moves in.
🎲 Play Idea With the Set
Every morning the teacher draws the new task card from the desk. Sometimes it says “Dance like snowflakes for one minute,” sometimes there's a riddle. Letters to the elf go in the mailbox, and at the end there's the class certificate.
💡 Tips
- Decide the cards by weekday ahead of time, so on busy mornings you already have a task ready.
- Print at 100% and switch off “fit to page” so the pieces stay elf-sized.
- Cut roughly first, then trim along the lines. That keeps tiny pieces neat.
