What’s Included
This activity pack contains three printables. There is a fun elf-themed word search that’s great for young readers. You’ll also receive two elf-themed writing prompts with room to write on the pages.

Elf Word Search
Word searches are a great way to help young readers improve their vocabulary and reading skills. They also help children learn how to spell new words.
In addition to helping with reading skills, word searches can also help children develop problem-solving skills. They must use logic and reasoning to find the words in the puzzle.
Finally, word searches are a fun way for children to spend their time. They can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.
Our holiday word search features twelve elf-themed words to find in the puzzle.

Elf Writing Prompts
Using writing prompts to engage reluctant writers is a great way to get them interested in writing.
Prompts can be used to inspire creativity and help students think about new topics to write about.
They can also help students who struggle with organizing their thoughts. Prompts provide a structure for students to follow, which can make it easier for them to start writing.
Prompts can be used in multiple ways. They can be copied and handed out to students, or they can be displayed on a classroom board. Teachers can also read prompts to students aloud, or students can choose their own prompts from a list.
Prompts are a great way to get kids excited about writing, and they can help reluctant writers become more engaged in their work.
Our activity pack includes two {almost} identical Elf Journal Entry pages. Kids will write a journal entry from the point of view of one of Santa’s elves on December 23. The only difference between the two pages is that one elf coloring image is a boy and one is a girl.
