A CLASSROOM CELEBRATION
Secret Santa
Secret Santa
for your classroom
Plan a gift exchange with a clear budget and date. An adult organizer can draw names from a list and print a separate card for each participant.
Draw Names for Your Class
Free, with no participant accounts required. At least 3 names are needed.
FOR THE ORGANIZER
Simple rules everyone understands
A teacher or parent can confirm who wants to participate, set a gift budget, and choose an exchange date. Then draw names—students do not need personal accounts to receive a printed result.
01
Confirm who is participating
Include only students who want to participate. Explain when and how gifts will be exchanged.
02
Set a gift budget
Choose an amount that works for families, and keep the rule simple: each person prepares one gift.
03
Hand out the results
Draw names, print the cards, and give each participant only their own result.
READY TO PRINT
Hand out the cards. Keep the full list.
After the draw, open the participant cards and assignment list separately. You can print or save each as a PDF. Cut, fold, and hand one card to each student. The adult organizer keeps the full list.
Organizer’s list
The full assignment list for a teacher or parent to check before the gift exchange.
Open sample list · PDFThese samples use fictional names. You can prepare your own files after you draw names. Print privately: all results are visible on the sheet until you cut the cards apart.
AGREE AHEAD OF TIME
It’s the thought that counts
Before drawing names, agree on a budget, preparation time, and appropriate gift types. Decide what to do if someone cannot attend on the exchange day.
Participants and adults handle gift purchases and the exchange. MySanta helps draw names and prepare results to hand out.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before the classroom exchange
Do students need to create accounts?
No. Participants do not need accounts for a name draw from a list. An adult organizer enters the names and hands out individual results.
Will participants see the full assignment list?
Each card shows only that participant’s result. The organizer can see the full list; keep it separate and do not hand it out with the cards.
Can an odd number of students participate?
Yes. Everyone gives one gift and receives one from someone else. At least 3 participants are needed for a draw.
