Spot the elf game: A great elf on the shelf activity

It is very difficult to think of 24 different ways to be mischievous with your elf on the shelf. Once you have that elf on the shelf adoption certificate, you really are in it for life. Or at least until the kids stop believing, and if you are anything like us, then you want that magic to last as long as it possibly can. If you find your elf on the shelf letter pack we have didn’t work for you, or you are just running out of inspiration, then try this activity for the kids. The elf can leave this little spot the elf game out somewhere for them to find perhaps?

How to play your spot the elf game

There is only one sheet in this activity for the kids, and it really is simple. We have hidden a few fabulous elves in our picture, and the kids just need to circle as many as they can find.

We have given an example of the specific elf you are looking for – because we do have a few of the pesky fellows in the elf game. We wouldn’t want you picking out the wrong ones now, would we?

What does the elf game look like?

There are actually 27 elves in this picture – can you find them all? They can be found anywhere, any size and in any direction.

If you need anymore inspiration for any activities over Christmas with a bit of an elf theme, do take a look at our elf on the shelf eBook.

You could even give them an activity sheet a day with alongside the funny antics that your elves get up to in the house.
