5 minutes - Self Introduction/3 Things in a Christmas Box


10 -12 minutes - A Christmas Song Nativity


  1. Teach the Christmas Story (short and sweet) while setting up the Nativity (invite kids to tell parts of the story). We're going to watch a short clip of when the angels appeared to the shepherds (Show clip from lds.org). Let's look at our Nativity again. Notice the Wise Men aren't here? They came a few years later! When the Wise Men visited Jesus, they brought Him gifts - gold, frankincense, mirrh. Today we are also going to give Jesus a gift - the gift of music!
  2. Draw names of kids to come choose a Nativity piece. Sing the song on the bottom of each piece. Use flip charts for unfamiliar songs.
  3. After 3 songs, sing "Once There Was a Snowman" (p 249). Hand out Snowman Sticks.
  4. Fast Finisher: Sing the teachers' favorite Primary songs.


3 - 5 minutes - Christmas Gift/Explanation


  1. Christmas Gift - Just as we gave Jesus the gift of music today, I am also giving you the gift of music. Each of you will receive a CD with our program songs on it for next year! There is a special new song called "As a Child of God" that we will be learning. Along with the CD, I have included a copy of some of the words for you. There is also a letter to read with your parents. I invite each of you to listen to this amazing music often to get ready for another great year of Primary music.
  2. Hand out gifts as kids leave Primary (double doors).
