The Animals

“Shhh!” mooed the cow all cinnamon brown  (put finger to lips)
“Come to our stable, come bow down!”  (fold hands)
“Shhh!” baaed the sheep so shaggy and white,  (Put finger to lips)
“A baby’s been born in our stable tonight.”  (Lay head on hands)
“Shhh!” cooed the dove a way up high,  (put finger to lips)
“Listen to the mother’s sweet lullaby.”  (cup hand around ear)
“Shhh!” said the mother as she sang to her son  (put finger to lips)
“Praise be to God!  A Savior has come!”  (Rock hands as though holding a baby)

 

On Christmas Eve

 Adapted from Sunday School Specials 2, Lois Keffer, page 91

On Christmas Eve, some people still search
for Mary’s baby Son.
But he’s not in a manger and not in a church. (Shake head)
He lives in everyone. (Point both hands to heart)

So when you see a star twinkling bright (make a star burst with fingers)
in a crisp, quiet winter sky,
remember the gift God gave that night
and the angels that sang on high.

There’s a gift that you can give Jesus, too.
It’s not too hard to find.
To each person you see the whole year through (pretend to point to several people)
be loving and gentle and kind. (give self a hug)
