I know the idea of Santa can be a big debate among homeschoolers, so I'm not going to get in to that. If you do "do Santa" in your house, this would be a fun lesson to do with your kids of all ages.
This idea came from my mom, actually. When we were kids, we were not allowed to write a list to Santa. We had to write an actual letter to him and show interest in his life. We had to share things about ourselves and thank him as well. I've been wanting to do this with my kids but we never seem to get around to it, so this year it is part of our homeschool plan.
I've created instructions and a rubric in one- easy to print (just right-click and save). There are a ton of free stationary printables online you can use, or regular notebook paper.
Be sure to change it up to suit your family.
Here are some ideas of what kids can tell Santa about/ ask him about:
- Favorite sports
- goals
- What they are struggling with
- What they have accomplished
- What they are proud of
- What they do after school
- What his favorite cookie is
- How to make the reindeer a special treat
- What do the elves and Mrs. Clause like
- What is his favorite________
