Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Has anyone done any Christmas party games for children (age 3-12)?
I need to think of some ideas. Found this pass the parcel which looks appropriate.
Any other ideas out there? :-)

Saint Nicholas coin toss. Make a chiminey out of shoe boxes painted to look like bricks. Have kids toss bags of plastic coins into the chimney. Give small prizes based on 1,2 or 3 bags in.

Was gone last week - so just seeing this.

This is another "Pass-the-Parcel" game I found on St. Nicholas Center pages. We have done this for St. nicholas Day.

Quote:
Before the class prepare a pass-the-parcel. The parcel should contain a stocking full of sweets. After the discussion on gift-giving play pass-the-parcel with the younger children. Ask the winner what St Nicholas would have done with the present. Would he have kept it for himself or shared it with the other children? It is hoped that the winner will get the message and share the sweets.


Another game listed at St. Nicholas Center:
Quote:
Musical Money Bag As part of a St. Nicholas Festival evening, prepare a "money bag" for each table group. Fill each bag with chocolate gold coins or other candy. While music plays, the bag is passed around the table. Whoever has it when the music stops is the winner. The "winners" then stands up and re-enacts the spirit of Saint Nicholas by sharing the goodies with the whole table.
