Memory Verse
God (point up)
loved the world so much (give yourself a hug)
that he gave (hands out in front of you like you’re offering something)
his only son. (rock arms like rocking a baby)
John 3:16 (hold hands like an open book)
God gave us the words of the Bible to show us who He is!
Practice the verse a few times! In Mission Kids, we often practice saying it different ways, like reallllyyyy sllowwwllyyyy, SUPER LOUD, or with a roar!

“Dear God, this is such a special time of year because Jesus is special, and it’s His birthday. Thank You for loving us so much that You gave us Your Son, Jesus. Help us celebrate Him every day! We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
MAKE IT // ART ACTIVITY
What you need: Activity Page (view/print below, or grab it from the December Church Kit if you have one!), scissors, crayons, hole punch, and yarn.
What you do:
Cut out the baby Jesus and punch a hole at the top.
Take time to color the ornament.
Cut the yarn and thread the yarn through the hole.
Tie a knot at the top of the yarn to make a loop.
MOVE IT // ACTIVE ACTIVITY
What you need: Activity Page (grab it from the December Church Kit if you have one!) or paper and crayons.
What you do:
Get your cards from your kit OR cut your piece of paper to create cards and draw a different animal on each card.
Place your cards in a pile face down.
Take turns picking up the cards and acting out the animal on the card.
Remind your kiddos that Jesus was born in a stable with lots of animals around.
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by reminding each other of what sorts of things God plans for us to do (hint: help others, follow Him, love everyone!)
