Elf on the Shelf writing frames
Add a sprinkle of festive fun to your writing lessons with our Elf on the Shelf writing frames. These templates are ideal for EYFS and KS1 pupils and are designed to support both story-writing and letter-writing activities with an Elf theme.
Pupils choose their writing frame, plan what their elf has been up to, write a short letter or story and illustrate it. The structured frames help children organise their ideas and build confidence in writing, while the familiar Elf on the Shelf theme keeps them engaged and motivated.
Includes:
- Writing frames with Elf on the Shelf themed borders and prompts
- Templates for letter writing and short story writing
- Blank and prompt-supported versions to cater for different ability levels
