A child-by-child example
Personalized Letter for Sam
Use this example to celebrate a child’s kindness, something they practiced, and the first clue in their adventure.
Make it personal: replace Sam’s name, the remembered acts of kindness, the new skill they practiced, and the clue wording. Keep the details specific enough that the child feels truly noticed.
Example wording
Dear Sam,
You made it to the Top of the Nice List!
We heard how patiently you helped your little sister build her tower—even when it toppled over! We also heard how much you practiced riding your bicycle. You kept trying, and we are so proud of you.
Your kindness was noticed all the way at North Pole Academy.
We worked together to make a Christmas Eve surprise especially for you. There is just one little mystery: where is it hiding?
Follow the clue in your envelope to find out!
With love,
The Dream Team
Keenan, Bella, Reso, Lola, and Sela
