Use sugar free or alternatives such as small erasers if candy isn’t appropriate in your home or school.  The Best of Tess for the Elementary SetNote: This must be ready to give to students on or before December 1st.

Here is another FREE Secret Pal activity that is sure to please your students. Each student will have a Secret Pal and provide small treats and gifts for that person each day of the last week before the Winter Break.

On the last day of the activity, students will learn the identity of their Secret Santa. Charlene Tess used this activity in her classroom to teach writing skills, listening skills, and to provide an opportunity for students to have fun.
