What Can I Give

What gift can I give?  Children are naturally giving.  This singing activity is all about giving.


  • Choose several songs that the children like to sing - include as many Christmas songs as possible.  Write the titles on a piece of paper and roll or fold each of them up.
  • Write "What can I give?" on 10 pieces of paper and roll or fold each of them up. 
  • You will need a Christmas stocking.
  • Put the titles of the songs and "gift" papers in the stocking.
  • Make sure they are mixed up.
Tell the children that Christ's gift to us was His life, goodness, love and atonement.  Because we want to be like Him, we should follow His example. What can we give to others?  Give a few examples: set the table, read to someone - old or young, take the garbage out, etc.

We are going to sing about Jesus and tell how we can give service to others as He did.

Ask a child to pick a paper from the stocking.  Sing the song or tell what "gift" he/she can give to others.

Continue through your singing time.
