Write a Letter to Santa Claus - Writing Activity

Get ready to spread some holiday magic with our Write a Letter to Santa Claus - Writing Activity! This delightful project lets your students step into the festive spirit by crafting their very own letters to the jolly man in red. Not only does it bring a touch of whimsy to your classroom, but it’s also a sneaky way to practice essential writing skills (shh, they’ll never know it’s educational!).

Designed for budding writers of all levels, this activity encourages creativity, critical thinking, and maybe even a little persuasion as students politely (or hilariously) explain why they’ve earned their spot on Santa’s nice list. It includes festive letter templates with prompts to guide them, so no one will be stuck wondering how to spell "reindeer."

This activity is perfect for the holiday season, whether as part of a literacy lesson, a fun warm-up, or a way to channel all that seasonal excitement into something productive. Bonus: these letters make adorable keepsakes or can even be “mailed” to Santa for an extra dose of Christmas magic.

Whether they’re asking for world peace, a new bike, or just extra cookies, your students will love this creative holiday adventure. Grab this Write a Letter to Santa Claus activity, and watch the magic happen!

Enoy!
