December in a classroom moves fast. The door contest sign-up lands in your inbox, half the class asks if the elf is coming back, and somewhere in there you’re meant to plan a party that doesn’t end with thirty kids bouncing off the walls.
We make three printable kits for exactly that month. Pick the one you need below, or grab the bundle if you’re doing the door and the party. Need tags for class gifts? See our 15 Christmas gift tags for students.

Quick questions
Is the elf doll included? No, these are printable files. Any elf, stuffed toy or doll works with the letters and props.
Do I need special software for the names? Just the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Click a name box, type, then print. You can also print the pages blank and handwrite.
My school doesn’t allow much on the door. Will the door kit still work? Yes. The same pieces work on a bulletin board, a whiteboard or a wall by the door. Use the banner and name pieces on their own if you have less space.
Is anything shipped? No, all three are instant digital downloads. You print at home or school.
