Mrs. Lambert’s 2nd Grade Class tells us their techniques for catching one of Santa’s reindeer.

How to Catch a Reindeer

I think I could catch one of Santa's reindeer easy peasy! I would get a rope. When the reindeer steps in the rope I would pull the rope. I caught one! It is Rudolph and Comet! Should I let them go? I said to myself, "I am going to keep them." I am going to bed. Oh, oh, that was tricky. The next day I said, "What is on my roof? Oh it is a reindeer! I am going to train him."

Catching Santa's Reindeer

I think it would be hard to catch a reindeer but I'm going to catch a reindeer. I would dress up in a fake Santa Claus costume and I would make a stall. Then the reindeer would follow me and then I would grab his mane. Then Santa would have no reindeer in his sleigh. I would ride the reindeer to my yard. Santa would be mad!

Catching Reindeer

Catching a reindeer is easy. I can catch a reindeer with my sleeping potion. I would put the potion in their food. I would catch Comet. I would put the food on the roof. He would fall asleep. I would say, "Yay!" When he wakes up I will let him go. I will see you soon!

Catching a Reindeer

Catching a reindeer is difficult. I would get a bowl and carrots and shake the bowl while they are sleeping. They don't hear the carrots so that doesn't work. I leave the bowl by the road. Then I would try to catch them while they are eating dinner. I will get a net and put it on a hill.

An Idea to Catch a Reindeer.

To catch a reindeer you would need two ropes. Hook the rope to a car. Hook the other to a tree and make a loop. The car will back up and I will catch one. I'm going to ride the reindeer. I will go to buy carrots and magic reindeer food to feed the reindeer.

Catching a reindeer is fun! First I would get some carrots. The carrots will distract the reindeer. When the reindeer steps in the rope he can eat the carrots. Then he or she will be caught!

The Sleigh Ride!

The best idea to catch a reindeer is to give Santa a ladder. Tell him to park his reindeer on the ground. So when he climbs up the ladder I will hop into the sleigh and ride off into the clouds and say, "HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Then I will wake my brother up which is Tizer and our mom and dad and our grandma and grandpa. They can hop into the sleigh with me and ride off!

How to Catch a Reindeer

If I was going to catch a reindeer I would ask my dad to dress as Santa. Then I would find deer. I'd polish the horns. I'd have Dad make a sleigh. I'd fill the sleigh with deer and leave one left for the reindeer. When the reindeer gets in its spot he will fall into a room. I will be waiting in the room!

Catching a Reindeer

The best idea to catch a reindeer is to pour syrup with candy canes on the roof. The reindeer will get stuck in the syrup. Another way to catch a reindeer is to put up a rope trap and cover it in snow and put it on the roof. I would put reindeer food in it and candy canes and carrots. If that doesn't work maybe just give up.

Catching a Reindeer is Tricky

I think I could catch one of Santa's reindeer! Catching Santa's reindeer is very hard. I would love to catch a reindeer. I would put a trap in the sleigh and a rope by the sleigh. I will put a sticky flytrap and a cage also attached to a rope. I will let go of the rope and it will trap the reindeer. I would put the reindeer in my garage.

Catching a Reindeer

Catching a reindeer is easy because Comet loves candy. I can set a candy trail. I will get some Reese's, M&M's, and Snickers. Then when the reindeer eats the candy he will get a tummy ache so he can't fly. I will catch him with a net. I will keep him for two days. I will feed Comet and I will play snowball fight with Comet. On the last day we will go for a ride on Comet

You can do lots of traps to catch him or put a sleep potion in his food. One of these days you will finally catch the reindeer.

Catching a Reindeer

Catching a reindeer would be hard. I will put four sticky mouse traps down. Then I will put a rope around it. I'll tie bells to the rope. When the reindeer steps in the sticky traps he'll step in the rope and then the bells will ring. Then I'll pull the rope and he'll get caught.

Catching a Reindeer is Fun

I have always wanted to catch a reindeer. Put honey with candy canes on the roof. Put a sleeping potion on the roof too. Put a fake Santa and reindeer so the reindeer can think it is real and the kids can trap them. Put a net in a tree and when the reindeer steps in the net he will get stuck.

Catching a Reindeer

One way to catch a reindeer is to make a maze. Then make a sign of a different maze to lead a reindeer into a trap. Last, you put a roof on the maze. At night a reindeer will get trapped in the maze.! Then you will have a reindeer! Then you can play with him. You play fetch with him.

If you want to catch a reindeer you have to make a trap. It is very very hard to catch a reindeer. You need to make a plan. The best way to catch a reindeer is to get magic reindeer food. Mix the reindeer food with sleeping potion. Then when he eats the potion he will fall asleep. Then you tie a rope around his feet. Then you caught your reindeer!

by Sawyer Ostendorf

I Can Catch a Reindeer

I think that I can catch a reindeer but it would be very tricky. I have a plan. My plan is I'm going to put a pile of candy canes and a very clear string would be on the candy canes. When the reindeer comes to get one, the candy cane will go up. Then the trap will go around the reindeer's legs. I will ask the reindeer to take me to the North Pole.

An Idea on Catching Reindeer

To catch a reindeer I would make a cage trap. First I would get a cage and rope. Then I would connect the rope to the cage. Then I would put it through the roof board and then wait and wait and wait. Let go of the rope on a reindeer. Other ways are a net trap, fly trap, and a sleigh trap.

Catching Reindeer

I love catching reindeer. I think I could catch a reindeer with reindeer food on the roof. I would climb on the roof and I would put carrots on the roof. I would put magic food for the reindeer. I would put fake snow. I would put clear glue on the roof too. I can also put really sticky glue and he will get stuck on the roof.

How to Catch a Reindeer

Catching a reindeer is hard. A reindeer will spot you and run away. I could make a metal trap that would come down in a coal mine. I would put candy canes down in the mine to make the reindeer come. One of the candy canes will set off the trap. The trap falls down on the reindeer. I will keep the reindeer for a few days and then release it!

How to Catch a Reindeer

Catching a reindeer is hard. I will get carrots and then I will put a net under the carrots. I will cover the net with snow. When the reindeer comes, it will go to the carrots and then it will touch the net. The net will come up around the reindeer and catch it. I will ride the reindeer around town and I will see if it can go to somewhere where it is not snowy.
