What Santa does
Santa whispers from the stable: seven reindeer are ready, Rudolph is snoring. Can your child hear it?
Without Rudolph the sleigh flies crooked, the elves have tried everything, and the test flight is in ten minutes.
He asks what wakes your child up in the morning: a breakfast, a pet, a song, a silly trick. He takes every idea seriously.
Then he tries it on Rudolph out loud, with sounds: a snort, an ear twitch, a big yawn, and he is up! Santa thanks your child by name.
Rudolph's first job tonight: fly past your child's house and ring a bell to say thank you.
What you fill in beforehand
What wakes your child up in the morning. Pancakes, the dog, a song. Santa uses exactly that to wake Rudolph.
Parents ask
- Why ages three to seven?
- The story has sound effects and a simple problem. Younger children love it; older ones may find it babyish.
- Is it scary?
- No. Rudolph is only sleepy. The tension is funny, not frightening.
- Does my child need to say much?
- One idea is enough. Santa does the rest, with snoring and yawning sounds.
Two tips
- Practise the snoring together before the call. Children arrive giggling.
- Listen for the bell that evening. A small bell in the hallway makes the story true.
