The Nativity Play!

Christmas Eve

is my FAVORITE part of Christmas!

I get so ExCiTeD I can hardly stand it.

I love Traditions and Christmas Eve seems to

have some of the best ones.

Our Christmas Eve Traditions consist of:

Games and Prizes

Amazing Food

A Visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus

The Christmas Eve P.J. Parade

and then the

BEST PART OF ALL....

The Nativity Play

followed by our

Secret Santa Delivery

and an

All Night Hallmark Movie Marathon

Slumber Party with the boys!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

I created a new Nativity Set for this one,

and I have to say, IT'S MY FAVORITE!

So here it is, page by page:

Here's the PDF:

The Nativity Story Packet PDF

We have the kids in the family dress up

and read their parts.

For FHE I made a second set.

This one is one that can be held with little hands

and moved around.

Here they are...

Here's the PDF:

Nativity Pieces Packet PDF

Bethlehem and Stable Packet PDF

The pieces can be Mod Podged to wood or chipboard.

This would be a fun gift for Visiting Teaching and

Home Teaching.

You could cut and laminate the pieces.  Attach a magnent

on the back and use it with a magnetic board, you could
print on magnetic paper. You could
attach them to tongue depressors, or
you could just give them a copy of the story.

Lots of possibilities!

The planner is coming...I PROMISE!
I just had to find a missing piece,
and today I did!
We had a lot of clean up after the serious wind storm
we had here in Farmington...but we are all still
standing and the power is back on so we
can go back to work!
Woot...Woot!

Christmas Memory Game!

The Silent Night Memory Game

is a great way to talk to your "littles" about

the TRUE MEANING of Christmas.

I was able to use mine for a Primary Sharing Time.

When they got the match...

I had the child read the Story Card
that goes with that picture.

Here's what they look like:

Each of the Memory Game Cards

will have a front and a back.

The back side of all of the cards will have

this picture:

The other side will have two of each of the other pictures

shown below.

This is what the Story Cards look like:

I keep these and when a match is made,

I hand it to the one who got the match to read.

Instructions:

Cards can be printed with a front and back side

and laminated,

or they can be printed and attached to

chipboard using Mod Podge and
a sponge brush to attach them.

You can use a wet erase marker to write

numbers on the stars of the back pieces
when the game is played in Primary.
When you're done...just wipe them off
and start with a fresh set of numbers
every time you play.
