Santa Claus Friendly Letter Writing

Ho Ho Ho! It’s every child’s favourite time of year again. The

Christmas season is upon us and so is the tradition of children

writing a letter to Santa Claus. But wouldn’t it be a nice surprise

for Santa to open up letters which ask him about his exciting life

at the North Pole?

In class, we have been learning about the five parts to writing a

proper friendly letter. Using what you have learned about

writing a friendly letter, write a friendly letter to Santa Claus

which is sure to bring joy and excitement to him. In order to

write your letter, follow the steps below:

Begin by using the “Letter to Santa Planning Page” to plan out

what you want to say in your letter. Think about questions you

might want to ask Santa, things you may want to tell him about

your family, and 1 or 2 things you would like Santa to bring you

for Christmas.

Then begin a rough copy of your letter. Think about writing what

you have planned in sentences and paragraphs.

Once your rough copy is finished, move on and write the good

copy of your letter. Use the special “Letter to Santa” letterhead

paper for your good copy.

Finally, you will learn how to address an envelope so that Santa

will receive your letter and write back to you.
