We all like to think about what we might receive at Christmas, but Christmas is also a time of giving.
We look forward to what people will give us, but our giving to others can make a big difference to their Christmas and their understanding about the birth of Jesus.
This resource can be used as part of a youth night, youth club or Christmas presentation. It works well with 11-14's but please adapt according to the knowledge and age of your group.
GIVE A GIFT
Bring in some colour magazines or catalogues which contain lots of ideas for gift items. Divide your group into teams of 4 or 5 and give each a magazine, a large piece of paper, scissors, paste and pen. Tell them they need to make a collage of gifts they would send to the following people,
- Dad
- Mother
- A baby
- The queen, (or president, prime minister)
- Your best friend
- Your wonderful youth leader!
- Yourself
For older groups you can also add the extra factor of working to a budget £500 ($1000).
