I think it’s so cool that kids today have things like Santa Trackers. How fun that would have been when we were kids! All we had was our parents’ word that Santa was flying around the world and he’d get to our house soon enough!

It’s a great way to get kids in bed Christmas Eve–“Santa’s almost here!” And the NORAD Santa Tracker has wonderful games–critical thinking sort–that my students love playing.
Lots of fun activities for kids! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Something to keep kids happy if it’s too cold outside and parents are playing Santa!
Wow !! great activity.. It’s very nice places for holiday
