19 days of Chrismas - ecards

This is the time of year where we send out oodles of cards and notes full of warm thoughts to our family and friends. This year, why not have your class send an e-card to a loved one or friend. This is a great way to spread holiday cheer! These e cards are also very cute, interactive, and motivating for students to create! I highly recommend the elf yourself!

Here are some cheery Christmas e-card creation sites:

• Elf yourself- Create an elf inspired e card that you star in!  
• Gingerbread Cookie Card - send a gingerbread man that you created as a Christmas e card.  
• Northpole mailbox - send an animated postcard from the North Pole  
• Holiday sweater - create your own holiday sweater! Take tacky to a new level!  
• Christmas Activity Center - Play Christmas games, get gift ideas, and send e-cards to friends and family at the Christmas Activity Center! Plus, laugh it up with Christmas riddles and solve holiday Sudoku puzzles!
• jib jab- who can forget jib jab! Make a Christmas e-card starring yourself! **some adult content** Hallmark - Hallmark has some free e cards to send a family member of friend.  
• Blue Mountain - A great place to find cute Christmas e-cards 
• Ecardia - Found this one on my diigo finds! Great ecard maker.
• Christmas card maker - Just as it says - very interactive card maker.
