2 VIDEO 1 / TEAM TIME 1 Supplies: Video 1 Teacher Note: These questions are designed to help kids understand why we celebrate and remember the holiday. Consider dividing the children into smaller groups if you have additional leaders. This will encourage children to share their thoughts. If that is not possible, encourage the children to think about their answer and then turn to a friend to share their answers. SAY: Hanukkah is a celebration in which God s people remember the lamp oil that miraculously lasted 8 days instead of 1 day while they cleaned and rededicated the temple. Jewish people have a tradition of lighting candles in order to remember this. There are many ways that people remember what God did. 1. Why do you think it is important for God s people to remember what God has done? 2. Christmas is a time to remember that God came to us. What are some of your family s traditions that help you to remember that God came to us? 3. A great Christmas tradition is to pray and thank God for choosing to come to us. Let s take turns praying together thanking God for coming to us. SAY: Great job! Another way we like to celebrate is singing Christmas songs, so let s join Pastor Paul in his Christmas Carol Mash-up. PLAY Video 2.
3 VIDEO 2 / TEAM TIME 2 Supplies: See Supplies Below (For Specific Activities) or Create your Own Supplies (For Additional Small Group Activities) Teacher Note: Today s activity is a Small Group Celebration! We re thrilled to offer an opportunity for small groups to celebrate the Christmas holiday together. While we have provided several ideas for the celebration, consider adding your own activities as well! The goal is to have fun celebrating Jesus birth and build relationships with each other. SAY: Today we learned about a holiday that Jesus celebrated! Do you remember what that holiday is called? (Hanukkah) Why do the Jewish people today celebrate Hanukkah? It was important to stop and remember what God had done. Why do we celebrate Christmas? Because it s important for us to stop and remember what God has done for us through His Son Jesus. SAY: There are many ways to celebrate Christmas! We all have different traditions, or things we do every year to celebrate. What is one of your traditions? Do you eat candy canes, or open presents on Christmas Eve, or find little toys in your stocking? ENCOURAGE the children to talk about their Christmas traditions. SAY: Today we are going to celebrate Christmas together! We ll create some new traditions just for our group! We re going to have a small group Christmas party! SMALL GROUP CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES GAME: Why Do We Call It Christmas? BINGO Supplies: 1 Bingo Card (Per Child), Character Cards (1 Set) and Bingo Markers (Coins, Ink Blotters/Markers, or Buttons) Directions: Print off enough Bingo cards for all of the children. There are 20 versions, so spread the different versions out among the children. Give each child 1 Bingo Card and several Bingo Markers. Hold onto the Character/Item Cards (the last page of the Bingo print). Explain to the children that you will pick a Character/Item Card. If they have that square on their Bingo Card, then can mark it with a marker. The first person to get 5 in a row (horizontally or vertically) is the winner! Encourage the children to talk about their traditions as they are playing the game. For example: If you call, Buck Denver Christmas Wreath ask the children if their family places a wreath on the door at Christmastime. MUSIC: CHRISTMAS KAZOO CHOIR Supplies: 1 Straw (Per Child), Scissors, and Christmas Music (on CD, ipod, or ipad) Directions: Help the children create a straw kazoo. Give each child 1 straw. Bite down on one end to make it flat. Cut the flat end to make a V. Put the V in your mouth and blow to create a sound! For different sounds, poke holes in the middle of the straw, or make it a shorter length. Create a Christmas Choir by playing Christmas music on a CD, ipod or ipad. Encourage the children to play their kazoos along with the music. For Christmas songs from your favorite characters, go to ART: CHRISTMAS CARD Supplies: Character Christmas Cards (Buck Denver Card, Chuck Waggin Card, Clive Card, Sunday School Lady Card: 1 Per Child), Scissors and Markers Directions: Encourage the children to choose one Character Christmas Card (Buck Denver, Sunday School Lady, Clive or Chuck Waggin ). The children can decorate their cards using the markers and then cut out the character s mouth on the front panel of the card. When the card is complete, the children can stick their mouths into the cut out section of the card and pretend to talk like the character. For example: If a child has a Buck Denver card, he can say Breaking news, Buck Denver here wishing everyone a very merry Christmas. Encourage the children to have fun with the cards and to think about a person they give their cards to maybe someone who needs a little extra cheer this Christmas. ONLINE GAMES: Jelly Telly.com Supplies: Computers or ipads Directions: Pull up jellytelly.com on the computers or ipads and click on the Games Tab. Encourage children to work with a partner to have fun playing the games.
