POEMS

THE NICEST PRESENT

Under the tree the gifts enthrall,

but the nicest present of them all

is filling our thoughts with those who

care,

wanting our Christmas joy to share.

To you, whom we’re often thinking of,

we send our holiday joy and love.

CHRISTMAS NEW YEAR WISH

I made a Christmas wish for you,

for a holiday full of pleasure,

friends and family all around,

and memories to treasure.

I wish for you a Christmas filled

with joyous holiday cheer;

I wish you a Merry Christmas,

and a very Happy New Year!

SANTA

S Santa Claus will come out tonight

A And deliver presents.

N Near the

T Time of midnight you can hear him

A And what you will here are the words ho ho ho!

Puzzle Piece Picture Frame

Materials:

o Old cereal box.

o Puzzle pieces.

o Red, green and brown paint (we use tempra as I have

young children, but you can use acrylic if you trust

your kids not to get it on their clothes).

o Photo.

o Scrap of red felt (and green for a holly leaf -

optional) or small red pom pom.

o 2 wiggly eyes (or you can make paint or paper ones)

Instructions:

o Place the photo onto the cereal box to determine

the size and shape you want (you can make it

circular, square, oval, triangular, etc).

o Cut out a shape from the cereal box at least 1 inch

bigger than the photo (this is going to be your

frame).

3

o Cut a shape out of the center of your "frame"

(without cutting through - this is a job for an adult).

Again, you should end up with at least a 1 inch frame.

o Paint your puzzle pieces (some red and some green)

and let dry.

o Glue them onto your frame, overlapping the pieces.

o Glue the photo to the back of the frame.

MAKE YOUR REINDEER:

o Take 3 puzzle pieces (preferably one should be a bit

bigger than the other two).

o Paint the 3 puzzle pieces brown/ Let dry.

o Next take the two smaller puzzle pieces and glue

them to the larger one in the corners only.

o Then attached the wiggly eyes.

o Cut-out a small red circle for the nose and glue. .

o Then in the corner of one of Rudolph's antler make a

small holly leaf from green felt.

o Glue the reindeer into the corner of the frame.

GAMES

SANTA SAYS

How to Play: Played similar to Simon Says.

The player up is "Santa". Player will say

"Santa says hop on one foot". The children

will hop on one foot. Player will say "Stop".

The children are to keep hopping on one foot

until player says "Santa says stop". Repeat

for additional activities such as take one

baby step forward, step backwards, turn

around, sit down. Sometimes Santa will say

"Santa says" and sometimes he won't.

It's a fun game to play with young children.

FREEZE

Supplies: Christmas music

How to Play: Begin playing music. Everyone moves and dances

until the music stops then they must "freeze" in whatever

position they happen to be in.
