- Optional: pencil or pen
Copy the Christmas Carol Pattern.
Cut the slips apart.
Note: You may choose to use three or four other songs about Jesus that the children know, instead. Write each song title several times on different slips of paper. Make enough for each child to have one title, with several children having the same one.
Name each of the carols on the slips of paper and briefly hum the beginning of each one for a brief review.
Our SuperTruth says “God keeps His promises and sent His Son to us.” In our game today, we’re going to hum some Christmas carols that celebrate the first Christmas and God’s wonderful gift to us!
Pass out slips of paper with the song titles. Tell the children not to reveal their song title to anyone else. At your signal, they should begin walking around the room humming - not singing — their song until they find all the other children who are humming the same tune. If any children have hearing disabilities or are very shy, assign them a partner who likes to sing. Have the children with the same song stand together in a group as they find each other. Then have the groups actually sing their songs for the class.
When we sing these carols during the Christmas season, remember that God always keeps His promises to us! Jesus, who was with God from the beginning, came from heaven as a baby to give us eternal life!
