Give each player a piece of A4 paper or a sheet of newspaper. Tell players to hold the paper behind their backs and try to tear out a Christmas tree. Give a prize to the player whose creation looks the most like a Christmas tree!

This is a good game for parents to join in with at your Christmas party!

Arrange chairs in a circle, one chair for each player but one. The player who does not have a seat stands in the middle of the circle. Give each player the name of an Christmas decoration such as candle, wreath, bell, angel, tree, bauble, present, etc. Name 3 or 4 players with the same decoration.
The player in the middle calls out the name of one decoration such as ‘candle’. Then all players who are ‘candles’ change seats while the player in the middle tries to get a seat. A player can not go back to their original seat.
If the one in the middle calls out ‘Christmas’ then everyone changes place.

You’ll need:

• white card stock paper
• scissors
• brown construction paper
• green crayons
• a permanent marker
• tissue paper and
• glue sticks

First, cut out flowerpot shapes from brown construction paper. Then have kids fold a piece of card stock in half and glue the flowerpot shape to the bottom front of the card. Then have children tear, wad, and glue tissue paper pieces to the top of the card and connect the flowers to the pot by drawing green stems.

Next help kids write on the flowerpot, “Thanks for helping God’s love bloom in me!” Help preschoolers sign their card on the inside as a gift for someone special on Mother’s Day. Tell them they can give this card to their mom or another very special woman in their life.

Materials

• Contact Paper
• Bright Tissue Paper
• Ribbon
• Sticky Tape
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Start off by tearing bright tissue paper into strips. You can make the paper strips as thick or thin as you like.
2. Next, cut out two rectangles of contact paper the same size. You’ll cut these into egg shapes later so they can be any size you like
3. Lay the tissue paper strips across the contact paper rectangle. You can cover the whole area, leave gaps and overlap the colours too. There’s no right or wrong way to do it and each egg suncatcher will be different.
4. Once your coloured strips are in place, stick the second piece of contact paper over the top of the tissue paper to secure it. Then using a pencil draw on an egg shape and cut it out.
5. Finally snip a bit of ribbon and use sticky tape to fix it to the top of the egg. Now your Easter egg suncatchers are ready for hanging up on display
