Kids will enjoy this challenging Bible game: Snowball Wreath Toss to prepare them for the fun and joy of the holiday season.

Set Up

You’ll need:

• green pool noodles or a large artificial wreath
• a hot glue gun
• ping-pong balls

Christmas Bible Game: Snowball Wreath Toss

Have kids take turns trying to toss “snowballs” (ping-pong balls) through the wreath. Have kids see who can get the most snowballs through the wreath from farthest away, blindfolded, or throwing the balls over their shoulder backward.

Afterward talk with kids about the preparations their families make for Christmas, such as decorating, baking, or shopping for gifts.

Say: The game we just played was physically challenging. It can also be challenging for us to focus on preparing our hearts for Christmas.

Show kids lyrics to the song “Joy, to the World” or purchase and sing along with this music video.

Say: We just sang, “Let every heart prepare him room.” Let’s think more about how we can make room for Jesus in our hearts and lives this Christmas.

Give kids gift tags and have them write how they’ll prepare for Christmas in three ways: giving, thanking, and celebrating.
