Santa’s little helpers are back – and they need you!
The festive season is here, and what better way to spread some Christmas cheer than by turning your classroom into Santa’s workshop? We’ve created a set of free online audio challenges and resources designed to bring joy, laughter, and a sprinkle of magic to your pupils.

A special message from Santa
Santa has a little problem this year, he’s short on elves! That’s where you come in. With the help of his favourite elves, Bauble and Jangle, your class will embark on a fun-filled mission to complete elf training.
The best part? You’re in control. Choose as many challenges as you like, in any order, and watch your pupils transform into fully qualified elves. To celebrate their achievement, we’ve even included a certificate template for your newly trained helpers.
Why teachers love It
Here’s what one teacher had to say last year:
“They are absolutely loving it! We introduced Santa’s video on Tuesday and have been adding a new challenge each day. The elf clips are hilarious! It’s such a lovely idea—I’d use it every year with EYFS and KS1.”
How to join the fun
These resources aren’t just for schools—they’re open to families, childcare providers, and the wider community. So everyone can get involved!
