For our achievement days this Christmas, I wanted to incorporate a easy and cheap project (because our budget was zilch) and also to cover the basis of what Christmas Joy means.
I found a Christmas Tree in B&W just from searching Google... Here is one.
I also bought these scratch-off stickers from Amazon. $6.00 for 100.... I just bought these because they are cool and there is enough to use them again and again for different projects.
We first talked about J.O.Y.: Jesus Others Yourself.
Now I asked the girls what they thought putting Jesus Others & then Yourself meant.
I had them write their testimony of the birth of our Savior on a piece of cute card stock and to put in their scriptures. Simple, they don't have to share it with anyone.
Next we covered a goal that is in the Faith in God booklet & the OTHERS category of J.O.Y... Helping around the House. I asked them to think of 3-4 chores or service acts that they could do for someone in their family. Had them write them in the tree in SMALL writing. We put their stickers over the chores & then they decorated the Trees by just coloring them!
They folded them up and wrote the person's name who was receiving the Chore Tree. I gave each girl a penny so they wouldn't have to scour for one.
Lastly, we talked about YOU. I gave them each a dollar store gift that was simple and let them know how much I appreciated them and that when we serve others, we are not only serving God & Jesus but that they will develop a beautiful spirit in themselves.
Simple. Easy.
The girls LOVED it by the way!
