Supplies

• Die
• Pom pom or other small, colorful markers
• Laminator (if planning to reuse)
• Laminating sheets
• Santa printable (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link sent to you)

Directions

Print the Santa game on white cardstock. Laminate if you’re planning to reuse or you’re using it in a classroom/library setting.

Playing the game is simple. The first player to fill up all the spots on their Santa wins.

Let a child roll the die and fill in one open spot that corresponds to the number they rolled. Once they fill in one spot, it’s the next child’s turn.

Continue taking turns filling in Santa Claus until one child has filled in all of his or her spots.

If a child rolls a number and that color spot is full, their turn ends and they have to try again on their next turn.

That’s it! It’s so simple, yet fun and educational too!

Put on some cheery Christmas music in the background and the kids are bound to have fun!
