About this idea

Elf 'completes' homework with ridiculous answers (e.g., math problems solved with emojis, history essay claiming Santa discovered America). Leave a red pen nearby with checkmarks and 'A+++ PERFECT' written everywhere. Add sticky notes with fake teacher comments like 'Best work I've ever seen!' for extra laughs.

What you'll need

  • Elf doll or toy
  • Child's homework paper or worksheet
  • Red pen
  • Sticky notes
  • Emojis or printed-out funny symbols

How to set it up

  1. Place the homework paper or worksheet on a table or desk where the child will easily see it.
  2. Have the elf 'solve' the problems with ridiculous answers—use emojis or funny symbols instead of real answers, and write 'A+++ PERFECT' in big, excited letters with the red pen around the paper.
  3. Add several checkmarks all over the paper with the red pen to make it look like it was graded with high praise.
  4. Leave sticky notes nearby with funny 'teacher comments' such as 'Best work I've ever seen!' or 'You’re a genius!'

Tips & variations

  • Let your child help come up with the silly answers and comments for an extra fun family activity.
  • Use different colored pens or markers to make the 'grading' even more colorful and silly.
  • For extra laughs, the elf can also 'sign' as a funny teacher name like 'Professor Ho Ho Ho' or 'Dr. North Pole.'
