Decorate the Christmas Tree

A tried and true activity is "Decorate the Tree."  Cut out a large Christmas tree -- green poster board works well.  (I like to laminate it so I can uses it year after year.)  Using colored paper, cut out different ornament shapes.  On the backs of the ornaments put the names of Christmas songs, don't forget to use the ones from the hymn book.  For variety, you can have several ornaments with the question, "What did/does Jesus give to me?"  Another set of ornaments could have the question, "What can I give to my family, friends, etc.?"  The children can choose ornaments and either answer the question or sing the song, whichever is on the back of the ornament.  They can put their ornament on the tree.

If you have a small Primary, you can stick an ornament under each chair and let each child have a turn decorating the Christmas tree.
