Classroom Elf Kit for Teachers (Fillable)

A class elf for December, made for primary teachers. The elf arrives with a letter to your class, gets up to 2-minute mischief every school day, leaves a note each morning and flies home with a goodbye letter before the holidays. Type the elf’s name and your class name once and they fill every letter, note and certificate.

What makes it different: most elf printables are written for families at home. This kit is planned for a classroom: 20 school days (not 24 nights), set-ups that use things already in your room, a learning link for every day, puzzles and writing sheets for KS1 and KS2, and weekend notes for Fridays and Mondays. It is kind by design: there is no naughty list, the elf never threatens anyone, and none of the set-ups use food.
