Secret Giving

Introduction

Watch a six-minute video, "Saint Nicholas".

Activity 1

Learn to sing (at least a verse of) "Nicholas the Saintly".

Activity 2

Find something to donate in your area: toys to a local buy-nothing group for a child in need, food to the local food bank, et cetera. Get the child involved with thinking of what to donate and choosing it.

Lunch Snack

Ideally themed to the topic.

Activity 3

Make a cardboard (or craft foam or felt) slipper - the template is in the attachments. Decorate the sole and toe piece, and then staple (or sew with a darning needle and yarn, if using felt) the two together. Store your gingerbread coins and chocolate coins from yesterday in it, and give it as a gift to a friend.

Activity 4

Write a nice note to someone from an anonymous friend.
