Grade School Christmas Party

I did a Christmas Party for 2nd Graders this year. My ideas would really work for any grade. This party was organized center style which is to say I put kids in groups of 5-6. Then I had the kid groups rotate every 12-15 minutes to a new area to do the new activity.

Christmas Center Sign printable here

My centers:

1. Winter Pictionary (printable words here)
2. Snowball toss (big marshmallows)
3. Nutstacker game (Candy cane & metal nuts)
4. Stack-a-Tree (Plastic Cups speed stack)
5. Decorate a gingerbread house (graham cracker house hot glued)

I got many of my ideas off pinterest, and modified where needed. Winter Pictionary isn't a new game concept I am sure but it didn't have any printable words available anywhere. Yes it is easy to do yourself but why do it if someone else has? In fact I looked for printable ones way longer than it took to make my own. (shh don't tell)

September 2013 Visiting Teaching

I loved the message this month. There was a lot of things that I personally felt applied to me.

1. Click here for the official visiting teaching message.
2. Principles of self reliance card printable here from Mish Mash Mom. So cute.
3. I have the Artisan bread in 5 minutes a day book. The recipe is shared for free on their site and if you go here you can print the recipe on 8.5x11, 4x6 or 3x5's I printed them out as 4x6's on card stock.
4. Mirror, mirror am I a sloth? Click here for the scripture printout and here for the mirror handout.

Instructions for the Mirror scripture handout.

Print the scripture out on nice paper cut every 3 inches. Print our mirror handout on card stock, cut out. Tape/glue back to back one sloth one plain. Paperclip the mirror to the top of the scripture print. Tada.

The self reliance printable was super inspired check out Mish Mash Mom's monthly visiting teaching idea here. Amazing isn't she.
