Jolly Santa Claus: Dear Santa Letter Template Writing Craft & No Prep Activities

Celebrate December and the approaching winter break with holiday season read aloud activities, featuring an interactive letter to Santa, collaborative craft, and fun NO PREP worksheets that will save you TIME and PLANNING, plus bring a whole lot of Christmas magic to your kindergarten and first grade/grade one students!

Use this Jolly Old Santa Claus by Mary Jane Tonn and George Hinke resource independently or as part of the daily 12 READ ALOUDS OF CHRISTMAS advent calendar countdown reveal: designate a time on each of the 12 days leading up to Christmas break where kids can unwrap a book and reveal the day’s surprise read aloud. Then, complete some or all of the simple but FUN accompanying activities.

No worries if you don’t own the book or can’t find it at your local library, all books included in the 12 Days of Read Alouds can also be found on YouTube!
