Printable Bible Lesson
Morning Circle:
Review last lesson's "letter of
the week" by saying "Merry
Christmas!" Say, "What does
'Merry' begin with?" Make the
"mmm" sound. Encourage the
children when they guess the
correct letter. Introduce
today's letter by explaining
that another word that means
"Christmas" is "Noel." "Noel"
begins with the letter "n."

Bible Storytime:
Explain that just like "N" is for "Noel,"
"N" is also for "Nativity." Discuss
briefly what the term "nativity" means.
Read Room for a Little One:
A Christmas Tale, by Martin Waddell.
After the story, ask "what are some of
the reasons Jesus was born?" (Some
of the reasons include bringing love
and goodwill.) Ask, "how did the
animals in the story show the love of Jesus?"
(They found acceptance and peace in the place
where Jesus was.)

Have three objects ready in the letter bag. For
example, you might have a necklace, a nut, and a
nose (the funny plastic ones with attached glasses are
cute.) Give the children clues about each item to see
if they can guess what it is before taking it out of the
bag.

Centers:
1. Shaving cream table. Have children put on paint shirts, then dispense a large amount of white
shaving foam onto a long table. Let the children make swirls and piles of "snow." This is a great
sensory activity, and it really puts a shine on the tables!
2. Set up a present wrapping center. Use lots of shapes and sizes of old boxes. Provide old
wrapping paper, scissors, tape, ribbons, and bows. Let the children practice wrapping the boxes any
way they like.
3. Shape snowflakes. Have a selection of shapes cut from cardstock in the center of a table. You
might have triangles, diamonds, hearts, circles, and ovals. Provide crayons (with the paper removed)
and scraps of lace (from doilies, old dresses, tablecloths, etc.) Show the children how to lay the lace
over the cardstock shapes and rub a pattern onto them. Use a hole punch to make a hanging hole in
the top if desired, and hang them around the room.

Music & Movement:
Have an indoor snowball fight! Pour out several
bags of large white cotton balls on the floor. Let
children lift up and drop the "snow," throw it, toss it
at each other, and even try to make snow angels.
Play "Let It Snow" in the background to help set the
mood.
.
Snack:
Let the children make "dirty" snowballs. Make sure
children have clean hands, then set a sheet of
waxed paper in front of each child at the snack
table. Drop a large spoonful each of marshmallow
cream, raisins, and crisped rice onto the paper.
"Powder" each child's hands with confectioner's
sugar, to help keep sticking to a minimum, then
demonstrate making a "snowball" out of the
marshmallow cream. Let children roll their snowball
into the "dirt," collecting raisins and puffed rice
along the way. Then tell the children that in this
instance, it's o.k. to eat dirty snow!

Art Activity:
Swirly, snowy,
starry night pictures
In front of each child place a small jar or bowl filled with about a 50/50
ratio of sugar and lukewarm water. Let the children stir the water to
observe the sugar dissolving. This may prompt a discussion about
"is it there if you can't see it?" - which can be an excellent time to
discuss Jesus! Provide colored chalk and a sheet of heavy dark
blue or black construction paper for each child. Let the children dip
the chalk into the bowls or jars of sugar water (stirring it a little each
time) and then apply the wet chalk to the paper in swirls and whirls.
Then let the children paste small cotton balls or wisps and foil stars
onto their creations. The sugar crystals will sparkle once the piece it
dry. Van Gogh, look out!
Bible Song:

15 Classic Songs for Kids"

Ask the children what they look forward to most at
Christmas. Most will probably say "presents," but
others might say putting up the tree, candy, or snow.
Introduce today's circle story by saying that lots of
folks hope for a snowy Christmas day.
Read Dream Snow, by Eric Carle. You might like to
play "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" softly in the
background while reading the story.
