I don't know about you - but the week before Christmas always seems to be the most hectic time of year! But...it's also one of my most favourite times because there are so many wonderful things to do with the students!
I teach at a Catholic school and we spend a lot of time learning about the Nativity, reading different versions of the story and singing songs.
This year our class loved the song "Take a Walk to Christmas" (found on the CD In God's Image from our Kindergarten Religion Program). I thought it would be fun to create some props for the students to act out the song as we sang it.
We chose some students to hold the different props and as we sang the song, the student holding that prop would walk around the circle. More children joined in with their props as we continued to sing. We did this nearly all morning, since our students loved it so much!
Here's the same song on You Tube if you'd like to try it with your class.
