Classroom Elf Ideas
11 ideas
A classroom elf has to work within a few rules: no food (allergies), no mess (the next lesson starts in five minutes) and nothing that takes all morning to settle down from. These ideas follow all three.
Many double as a quick learning moment: a riddle on the board, a letter-writing station, a compliment jar the whole class fills. Use the class name in the Elf Arrival Letter and the elf belongs to everyone.
