About this idea
The elf has been busy on a decoy phone (an old device or printed phone screenshot taped to the counter). Every contact has been renamed — Mom is now 'Supreme Overlord 👑', Dad is 'WiFi Password Keeper', and the bestie is 'Person Who Eats My Fries 🍟'. A handwritten sticky note reads: 'Don't panic. Or do. I don't work for you.' Print a fake phone screen or prop up an old phone with renamed contacts written on paper strips.
What you'll need
- Old phone or printed phone screenshot
- Paper strips
- Tape or sticky notes
- Marker or pen
- Sticky note
How to set it up
- Write new, funny names for family members on paper strips (e.g., 'Supreme Overlord 👑', 'WiFi Password Keeper', 'Person Who Eats My Fries 🍟').
- Tape the paper strips next to the corresponding contacts on the old phone screen or printed screenshot.
- Attach a sticky note to the phone or printout that reads: 'Don't panic. Or do. I don't work for you.'
- Place the decoy phone or printout in a visible spot like the kitchen counter where the family will discover it.
Tips & variations
- Use colorful markers to make the names more eye-catching and fun for preschoolers.
- For added humor, include a few silly contact names like 'Cookie Thief' or 'Bedtime Avoider' to spark laughter.
- If you don’t have an old phone, print a screenshot of a phone contact list and then add the funny names by hand for a similar effect.
