This Christmas Elves unit is designed to help students understand the true meaning of Christmas and spread a message that lasts all year! The premise of this Christmas Elves unit is that the Christmas Kindness Elves will come each day to the classroom or home with different acts of kindness as well as the supplies (if needed). Each night the Christmas Elves will return to the North Pole to think of another act of kindness and to refresh their supplies. There are twenty four unique Christmas Elves activities included in this unit, enough to take you through twenty four days. Have your children or students name your Christmas Kindness Elves. Place the Christmas Kindness Elves in a different place around your home or classroom each day. Complete the act of kindness the elves left either together at home or at school, or assign it as homework (when appropriate and fun). The activities the Christmas Elves leave can be done in any order and have versions appropriate for home or classroom. You may choose to print out the Christmas Elves tags or print off a page of blank tags and write the message yourself. Writing papers and lists of supplies (when needed) are included. Christmas Kindness Elves activities are most appropriate for children who can read and write on their own, but may be adapted for younger children.
