Many elves love mischief, and yours may be no different! Here are some fun things your elf can bring along with them one day.
Gift Express Board Game and expansion
The instructions are on the board, but essentially you're going around trying to collect gifts and being the first player to deliver ten. You can't deliver gifts you don't have, so you must land on gift spaces to collect them. What you don't want to do is collect any coal. You cannot win the game if you have coal, no matter how many gifts you've delivered.
You will need paper and pencil to keep track of gifts (or use tokens), a die, and tokens for game pieces.
Gameplay is easy: roll a dice and move that number of spaces, traveling clockwise, following the instructions on the space you land on. If you land on a gift space, you "collect" that number of gifts.. Lose 1 coal lump by rolling an odd number and landing on a red space (or an even number and landing on a light blue space on board #2). Alternative: to lose a lump of coal, you must roll a 6 before landing on a red space (board #1) or a light blue space (board #2) to make it harder.
To expand the game, print out both boards and draw dots on 4-7 spaces on both (or place a chip on the side of a square). If you land on a dotted square, after following the instructions you may transport yourself to a square with a dot on the other board.
I also have a tracking sheet you can print and use. It looks like this:
Letter to Santa
The elf can bring these so the kids can send them off or visit Santa that evening. (There's a note that tells the kids this in one of my note packs.) There will be some trim on top to snip off; my apologies.
Mad Libs
You know the drill: call out various types of words. Put them together and make a funny story.
Scavenger Hunt
(+ a replacement clue for clue #8)
Use these clues to mix and match for a hunt around the house. Also, I really wasn't thinking about how most people won't have hay/straw on hand for clue #4, but it is easily skipped over.
