Come Follow Me, December 16-22 "Good tidings of Great Joy" Christmas

Updated: Dec 26, 2019




Here is an excellent idea from Mitzi at https://emiscrafty.com/2018/12/10/come-follow-me-2019-lesson-plans/

Mitzi is a busy Elementary teacher that has donated he time to making free CFM lesson plans. She is very talented and her lesson plans are very centered on scriptures, which I LOVE.

Instructions:

Nativity Ornaments – Cut these ornaments out. Take turns pulling them out of a bowl/bag. As they’re pulled out, read the scriptures on the ornament and discuss how that part of Christ’s birth made His birth so special. Listen to Christmas songs from the Primary Children’s Songbook while coloring the ornaments and then glue them onto the wreath.  

You could also have them color additional pictures of Christ or write their favorite quotes about Him on the back/sides of the wreath.

Come Follow Me- For Primary says "Ask the children to tell you the story of the Wise Men following the star to find Jesus. If they need to be reminded of the story, see Matthew 2:1-12 or...watch this movie: (Chapter 7, The wisemen)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGsg1q-_8sA

"Hide a picture of Jesus in the room.

(I actually Love dressing up, and have quite a collection of nativity clothes, but since I can't send those out to you you over the internet...these cute masks will have to do.)

"What are some gifts that we can give Jesus in our lives today?"

(Here is a printable, that the kids can draw their gifts to Jesus in. May want to do this before so they can hold them as wiseman and deliver them to Jesus)

Thank you Janell Whitney, for the picture!



For senior Primary:


Come Follow Me- For Primary page 194 “Invite the children to write on several slips of paper things they could do to help them focus on the Savior during the Christmas season. Put their papers in bags or other containers for the children to take home. Some ideas may include reading the scriptures, singing Christmas hymns and doing sincere acts of love.”

Cut this out and glue the edge to make a little bag, to hold the children's ideas on how to stay focused this Christmas.

BTW Christ's picture is supposed to be out of focus (:

I'm trying to simply this year...look at my Christmas card last year.


Isn't it the funnest thing ever. I can't really top that anyway. So I decided to only give to a couple of neighbors this year and simply my card...it does take a lot of time to make them that cute.

So here is my Christmas card/tag...and I'm sharing it with you , as my gift to you this year.

I love the focus on the Savior and hopefully it will keep reminding me to simplify.

God Bless You and Merry Christmas!

Love

Crystal
