As at Halloween and Thanksgiving, I always had my students do sentence completions for Christmas characters to work on punctuation and creative writing. Also, to make language skill practice more fun!
From my collection:
As the elf watched Santa get in the sleigh he said,
- "You win the bet, Twinkles. He still fits."
- "Ya know, Santa makes the Pillsbury Doughboy look like a stringbean."
- "Whatcha wanna bet Rudolph stops too fast and that new airbag goes off?"
Rudolph whispered to Blitzen,
- "Since you're riding behind me, I better warn you I just had some of Mrs. C.'s red hot North Pole baked beans."
- "If you don't quit calling me buffalo butt I'm gonna clobber you."
- "If you'll give me your dessert I'll let you ride in front."
- "I hardly slept a wink last night. Couldn't turn my doggone nose off."
- "Pass the word-- we're bustin' outta this joint tonight."
- "I've got a song about me and you don't."
The little boy thought as he put out milk and cookies,
- "I know someone who needs these cookies a lot more than that fat old man who ought to be on a diet anyway!"
- "I sure hope I get more than I deserve."
- "Well, I've got the burglar alarm set and the video camera aimed up the chimney. All systems are go!"
On Christmas morning the Grinch climbed out of bed and said,
- "I turned rotten the year Santa didn't bring me an electric train."
- "Oh, man. I forgot to steal Christmas. Oh, well. I'll just steal Valentine's Day instead."
- "Oh, what a nightmare! I dreamed I was Santa's little helper with . . . yuck. . . red and white tights!"
- "Maybe if Mama hadn't named me Grinch I wouldn't be in such a bad mood all the time."
Frosty the Snowman looked around and said,
- "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?"
- "Has anyone seen my corncob pipe? I can't see much with these eyes made out of coal."
- "I'm still pretty shook up from seeing Bigfoot's footprints in the snow last week."
- "Does anybody see where I left my legs?"
As Santa hopped into his sleigh he said,
- "I hope I remembered to turn on my teddy bear night light."
- "Don't worry, reindeer. Mrs. C. gave me a membership in Weight Watchers."
- "Yahoo! Ride 'em, cowboy. Oops, I forgot. I'm not a cowboy, I'm Santa Claus."
- "If we hurry maybe we'll have time to stop at Granny's Doughnuts."
- "Hmmm. Has this sleigh shrunk, or what?"
- "Now let's see if I can remember where the ignition is on this thing."
More to follow soon! Try some yourself (especially you teachers out there!)
