# Secret Giving

#### Introduction

Watch a six-minute video, "[Saint Nicholas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nhO7QZeJU8)".

#### Activity 1

Learn to sing (at least a verse of) "[Nicholas the Saintly](https://mci.archpitt.org/songs/English/O_who_loves_Nicholas_the_Saintly.html)".

#### 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](https://wiki.srp.life/books/early-years-themes/page/nine-gold-coins) in it, and give it as a gift to a friend.

#### Activity 4

Write a nice note to someone from an anonymous friend.
