Every template is human-made by a teacher: I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead, and I designed and built each one myself in Microsoft Word, then printed them to check they line up and fill the page as they should.

What Is a Secret Santa Questionnaire?
A Secret Santa questionnaire is a short form that everyone in a gift exchange fills in, so the person who draws their name knows what to buy. Good questionnaires ask for favourite colours, snacks and hobbies, clothing sizes, allergies, things you love and things to avoid, and a short wish list, with the gift budget and exchange date at the top. The Santa, present and Christmas tree pictures were drawn by Patrick Elliott in PowerPoint, using only shapes, with no clip art and no AI.
Which Secret Santa Template Should You Use?
- Secret Santa questionnaire: for offices, teams, families and friends, with sizes, favourites, a yes please and no thanks list and a wish list.
- Secret Santa questionnaire for kids: simpler questions and bigger writing lines for a class gift exchange.
- Gift exchange wish list: five wishes with where to buy them and a price, for anyone who just wants to list ideas.
- Name draw slips: cut them out, fold them and pull names from a hat to match everyone up.
- Planning the party too? Use the Christmas party program templates.
How to Run a Secret Santa
- Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and open the questionnaire.
- Type the gift budget and the exchange date, then send the file or print a copy for everyone.
- Ask everyone to fill it in and hand it back by a set day.
- Print the name draw slips, write one name on each, fold them and let everyone draw one.
- Give each person the questionnaire for the name they drew, and keep it secret until the exchange.
Set the budget clearly and stick to it, so nobody feels awkward. Ask about allergies before anyone buys food gifts, and keep the questionnaires with the organiser in case someone loses theirs.
How to Print at the Right Size
- Open the template in Word and press Ctrl + P (Cmd + P on a Mac).
- Choose the paper size in the file name: A4 for UK and Australian sheets, US Letter for US sheets.
- Set scaling to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page.
- Print one sheet and measure a row with a ruler before you print a class set.
Every sheet keeps a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) margin on all sides, so nothing is cut off on home inkjets, school laser printers or older printers with a wide edge.
