Helpful elf! ‘Ready for action’ elf! ‘I’ll get up in a minute’ elf! ‘No point in rushing’ elf! ‘I’m too comfy to go out in the cold’ elf!

A series of clues will appear on the screen. As soon as you know the answer, fill out an answer sheet and bring it to me at the front. I’ll give you a new answer sheet and an elf worth: 5 points after the first clue 4 points after the second clue 3 points after the third clue etc You won’t lose points for guessing, but you can only have one guess per clue!

Whilst the game is in progress you must cut out the elves NEATLY and glue them in a long line ready for helping santa. At the end of the game add up the numbers on the NEATLY GLUED IN elves & the team with the highest number wins. Any elves not NEATLY glued in get the sack...not the type with presents in!!!
