If you or your children are eagerly waiting for Santa to arrive, you can watch his progress with a Santa tracker. This year, two Santa trackers offer new ways to see where Santa is during his trip on the night before Christmas. These websites also have some other fun activities. Google has been tracking Santa every December for twelve years. This year, Google’s tracker takes you to Santa’s Village, which is filled with new ways to follow Santa. Head to Google Santa Tracker to find a countdown clock to Christmas Eve and 24 different activities to pass the time before Santa arrives. Visitors to the site can see translations of Christmas expressions using Google Translate in Santa's Village. You can learn terms in more than 25 languages, including “Elvish.” We are not sure that language will be very useful, however. There are also games on Google Santa Tracker, such as Gift Slingshot, Santa Search and Penguin Dash. You can learn coding skills and find out about charitable organizations that work all year. One activity is unlocked for each day in December, with categories Explore, Play, Learn and Watch. You can try each activity in order or choose by category. Google's Santa tracker is also available on Santa tracker app for Android, the Chrome Santa Tracker extension, and a link in Google Maps to Santa's Village. Google also has a new Santa tracker for educators. That web page has resources to help them teach children geography, coding, languages and more in a fun way. NORAD continues its tradition of tracking Santa with its NORAD Santa Tracker website. The North American Aerospace Defense Command is celebrating its 61st year of tracking Santa by offering a Christmas countdown, games, activities, 2D and 3D training maps, Santa Camera videos and more. Listen to NORAD Christmas music while you explore the North Pole. Play games, watch videos and learn the history of how a child dialing a wrong phone number led to the tradition of NORAD tracking Santa.
