Older Children at family events:

Written by Santa. Posted in Planning

Last Christmas, I was at a large family party without an elf or Mother Christmas and I felt that the older children were a bit left out when I told a story to the young ones. I’ve been trying to think of something that the older children could do with an adult while I entertain the little ones.

I’ve had the idea of getting the older children to ask the grown ups questions on video about their memories:
best Christmas present ever – received and given,
favourite Christmas memory,
favourite Christmas food,
favourite Christmas film,
favourite cracker joke?

Have you had any experience of this and whether it works? Also, what other questions would be good to add?
