Santa Tracking: 5 Web Sites for Kids of All Ages

Families can start Santa Tracking on Christmas Eve, to see where Santa Claus is traveling in real time.

#1 Web Site for Santa Tracking:
NoradSanta.org

The NoradSanta.org web site is the most popular Santa tracking site, and it's also the best. Kids will have fun watching Santa travel around the world with NoradSanta.org and watching the live Santa cam capturing photos of Santa Claus and his faithful reindeer.

NoradSanta.org starts with a cute animated introduction. Then just choose your language to get to the fun parts.

The home page is a happy Christmas village where kids can play free online games. Kids can use their mouse to scroll over the buildings to find games and PDF story files.

You can also countdown the hours until the Santa tracking starts, by adding the NoradSanta.org to your iGoogle page. While you're waiting ,you can also send Santa an email through the web site. Also, parents should download Google Earth for free before the tracking begins.

Santa tracking begins at 2pm MTN on Monday, December 24, 2007.

Beginning at 2:00 am MTN on Christmas Eve, you can track Santa Live as he makes his historical journey around the world!

The only downside to NoradSanta.org is that older computers may not run Google Earth properly or fast enough.

#2 Web Site for Santa Tracking:
SantaClaus.net

Kids can also engage in Santa tracking with SantaClaus.net. The advantage to SantaClaus.net is that the Santa tracking is done on the web site. There is no need to download anything in order to engage in Santa tracking from SantaClaus.net

The web site will show Santa Claus at his home, at the North Pole before the begins his world-wide trek. One drawback to the SantaClaus.net Santa tracking site is that it does not state when the actual tracking will begin.

In the mean time, kids can still have fun at SantaClaus.net. Kids can start with the Naughty or Nice Meter by typing in their names to see how good they've been this year.

Kids can further amuse themselves with Christmas games, Christmas songs, and visiting the Reindeer Barn.
