The Elf on the Shelf Rules
The rules make for such a magical Christmas experience as kids love anticipating Santa's arrival and the gifts he might bring.
This family traditional also encourages kids to get along, behave and think about their participation around the home.
The Rules of The Elf on the Shelf
- The kids of the house may not touch the elf or he will lose his magic.
- The kids may talk to the elf and the elf can hear them but is not allowed to talk back to the children.
- The elf flies back and forth to the north pole each night reporting the children's behavior to Santa. Each day when the elf arrives back to the home he is placed in a new spot.
This is fun and thrilling for the kids as they eagerly await the elves arrival everyday. The minute the kids wake up they begin looking for the elf. This gives us parents the opportunity to add things such as chores and kindness as we read the book to them. The kids become interested in anything they can do to get a good report. The book has an old time appearance making the book seem more legendary to the kids. It is such a treasure activity and family tradition adding a little extra something to this amazing holiday.

katiem2, The game is as fun as the book. It's a sort of hide-and-seek that makes me think of one of my favorite scenes in the Narnia Chronicles where Peter reluctantly plays the hide-and-seek that leads Lucy to the wardrobe.
Angel, It is a wonderful tradition. It's sure to be a family tradition handed down now all starting with you, how nice. :)
We did this for the first time this year and it was a success! The children really enjoyed it and it started a new tradition in our home.
Mira, My pleasure :)
Oh, what a great tradition! Thank you for sharing! :)
Me too the adorable elf is amazing with something the kids can really get involved with. Great helper for parents at this time of year. Thanks for commenting Jo, :)
This is such a wonderful book. I do recommend it. I love the fact that it's a game too now. :)
