Of course we learned from the Bible all about Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the angels and shepherds. But we also played some themed games and snacks.
I took some spray paint, cardboard boxes of various sizes and some fiber fill, along with a printed Grinch face, laminated and attached to the oatmeal carton. I used scraps left over from my Whoville outfit to make some bean bags.
This was a “knock down the Grinch” game and they LOVED it! They almost destroyed the whole thing by tossing the bags so hard. Boys, gotta love ‘em. Here’s a demonstration:
We made Grinch snacks:
Of course we had to make green slime! I had all the ingredients gather, measured and ready to go. We used this recipe:

Ingredients
It was a hit!
Choose your Grinch Game: In this game all the Grinches were numbered. The player starts with a bag of 5 pieces of candy. He gets the chance to choose 3 times. Each Grinch has instructions underneath like “Get 1 Candy” or “Double your candy” or “Lose all candies” etc. If you have candy at the end of the 3 tries you keep whatever you have left as the prize. If you watch the game and have a good memory you can end up with a lot of candy! I originally got the idea for this game from Kidology.org and adapted it to the Whoville theme.
And one of the best activities? Our prayer stations:
Floating Prayers
Candle Light Prayers (using battery operated candles).
Notice how they lined them all up in a row.
Is there anything more precious than to see these little ones talking to God?
Merry Christmas!
