Elf O'Clock Elf ideas

Elf idea: Write back to the elf

The elf has left a letter asking a question and a blank sheet for the kids to reply. It takes about 5 minutes and hardly any effort; you need paper, card and envelopes, felt tips, crayons and a marker pen.

How to do it

  1. Write a short letter asking the kids one question: favourite thing about Christmas.
  2. Leave blank paper and a pen beside it.
  3. Tomorrow night, leave the elf's answer to their reply. The app can't read it, so this bit is you.

I've written. Your turn. Answer my question and I'll answer one of yours tomorrow.
