Do you wonder what you can do to spread a little Christmas cheer at this special time of year? You can use this plan to bring the joy of Christmas to your family and friends. Ask someone to help you print out these different activities, then work your way through them during this Christmas season.
Have a joy-filled Christmas!
Day 1
Use these “Christmas Card Frames” to make Christmas cards for your family and friends. Pick the frame you want to use, print it out, and color it. Then draw a picture inside the center or glue a picture of you and your family for a Christmas card of your own creation.
Day 2
Create a “Christmas Gratitude Tree.” Write down things you are grateful for and place them on the tree. See how many baubles of gratitude you can add to your tree by Christmas Day.
Day 3
Do you wonder what gifts you can give this Christmas? Make this “Christmas Giving Wheel,” and then spin it to find out what activity you can do to give love and kindness to Jesus and others.
Day 4
Make a “Christmas Paper Stocking” for someone. Keep small papers and a pen nearby. When you have an idea for a kind deed or kind thought that you would like to give to the person whose name is on the stocking, write it on a piece of paper and slip it in the stocking. On Christmas Day give the stocking to the person so he or she can discover what treasures are inside.
Day 5
Print out and color the “Nativity Finger Puppets,” then use them to retell the story of the first Christmas to your family and friends.
Day 6
Make a “Christmas Paper Chain.” Print out and color the chain pieces, and don’t forget to create some of your own. String them together to fashion a Christmas chain you can use to decorate your bedroom.
Day 7
Print out and color “A Child Is Born.” When you have finished coloring it, post it somewhere other people can see, like the refrigerator door, so they too can be reminded of God’s gift of love—Jesus—that we celebrate at Christmas.
