There’s something inherently magical about the Christmas season. – We’re all more patient, more loving, and a bit more aware and thankful of all the blessings that we’re surrounded by. So it should really come as no surprise to anyone that the holiday season is the one where families and loved ones spend the most time together. With all the Christmas baking and decorating, this time spent together isn’t just for holiday parties! – There is something magical about growing up with wonderful holiday traditions, and so here we’re going to talk about five things you can do to not only boost your holiday spirit, but leave your child with some of the most amazing Christmas season memories.
1. Anyone who’s done Christmas shopping in the past is sure to have seen those small, 2-3 foot tall Christmas trees they sell. They’re cheap and small enough for easy storage, and a perfect way to spruce up a child’s room. Buy one for your kid, and spend some time finding ornaments and decorations that fit their interests together! Does your daughter love pink? Go out with her and look for some pretty pink ornaments and lights, or just buy up one of those pink trees! Or maybe your son loves football. – You’re sure to be able to find football ornaments! Decorating one of those mini trees with your kid is a great way to bond in the Christmas season.
2. Christmas cookies are probably one of the most common holiday traditions. – Who doesn’t bake up cookies to give away to friends and family? Inviting your kids to help you bake holiday treats is a great way to spend time together! You can also decorate some pretty tins with your child to put cookies into that they can give to teachers or friends! So get the Christmas music playing and start baking those treats!
3. Christmas crafts are another great thing to do with your children. – Making ornaments or holiday themed decorations to place around the
If organizing Christmas time games for young kids, the choices are endless. Be sure you provide plenty of room to run, do just a little planning and the kids are certain to have a great time.
Let’s begin with a few relay race options. Start off with a candy cane relay. Give each team four candy canes (and be certain to have some more in case a few break) and have the little one who’s running hold the candy canes between their fingers, with the bent part of the cane dangling over their fingers. But tell them not to use their thumbs. The canes should be just carefully perched between their fingers.
The children run to their teammate, exchange the candy canes (once more, only using fingers), and that teammate runs towards the opposite end and does the exact same. The game ends if only one team still has candy canes that haven’t dropped on the floor.
A different exciting relay that children adore is pass the ornament. In this game, each team gets one ornament (a lightweight, basic thin glass one is okay) along with a straw. They must blow through the straw to get the ornament down the line, then the next kid blows on their straw to get the ornament back down the line. Make certain every child has a fresh straw, as you do not want everyone to get sick.
This next basic relay game can be played with just about anything that signifies Christmas. You could have the youngsters pass a Santa hat (maybe requiring them to wear the hat as they run down the line) or have them wear Christmas socks that they then have to take off and get to the next child during the relay.
“Santa Says” is a fun game that all kids will know how you can play since it’s just like “Simon Says”. Before playing it, confirm that every child is familiar with “Simon Says” and then create a series of orders from “Santa”, like “Santa says, touch your toes”, “Santa says bend your knees” and so on. But occasionally leave the “Santa says” component
