Christmas Writing - Write Letters & Prompts to Elf & Santa - 33 Fun Templates

Are you looking for engaging Christmas creative writing activities this December? Get your students to write to Santa, the Elf and Father Christmas using these low-prep templates - perfect for your students to compose and write relevant letters at this busy pre-Christmas time.

The cute Elf and Christmas clip art makes this ideal for December’s fun creative writing activities. They will love writing and sharing ideas with their peers. Quick and easy setup makes the templates ideal for lessons, centres, homework and supply days.

Before they start to write the letters get students to work individually, in pairs or small groups to brainstorm adjectives and ‘WOW’ words that students might find helpful and jot them down using the enclosed prompts. Provide them with a thesaurus to look for more interesting words. Also included are 2 checklists to encourage them to think about spelling, punctuation and how to further improve their writing.

Differentiation is easy as there are different templates to choose from. For early writing use the templates with no lines for students to draw (and annotate if appropriate), for other students there are templates with fewer/ more lines with fewer/ more words, therefore matching the support and expected length of writing to your students.
