Top 10 active Elf on the Shelf ideas
With so many hilarious Elf on the Shelf scenarios these days, it can be hard to narrow down your choices to only 24. Okay, for lots of us it would be hard to ever possibly think of 24. Either way, at Active for Life we’ve decided to have a little fun with this elvish tradition and share a few of our favourite active Elf on the Shelf ideas.
Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that those crazy elves sure do love to move. (And, of course, so do our kids! Physical activity has lots of benefits for children–learn more about that here.)
Here are our top 10 favourite active Elf on the Shelf ideas (be sure to scroll down on some of these pages to find the image). Maybe these creative scenarios will inspire your kids to get moving like your elf!
- Flour snow angels
- Swinging on a toilet paper roll
- Snowball fight with Buzz Lightyear
- Sledding
- Skating
- Potato sack race
- Gymnastics
- Ziplining
- Bowling
- Ballet
Maybe that silly elf will even inspire your family to be a bit more active this holiday season, too. We’re pretty sure that extra activity would encourage some positive reports back to the North Pole, after all.
