Writing a Letter to Father Christmas - Worksheet

Designed for primary school teachers, this English teaching resource provides a set of worksheets aimed at helping students craft their own letters to Father Christmas. The first worksheet prompts students to compare two example letters, asking them to identify and note down the differences between them. This activity encourages children to engage in critical thinking and develop their analytical skills, as well as to understand the various elements and styles that can be used in letter writing.

The second worksheet focuses on building vocabulary and understanding the common words used in letter writing. Students are asked to extract and list typical words found in the example letters provided. This exercise helps them to familiarize themselves with the language and structure of a letter, which includes the greeting, closing, and the inclusion of personal details such as address and date. By reflecting on these components, students are equipped with the foundational skills necessary to write polite and thoughtful letters to Father Christmas, or any other correspondence they may engage in.
