Jesus Birthday Party - Christmas Event for Church or Home

A Jesus Birthday Party is a fun way to celebrate Christmas with the children in your church, community or home. This is a great event to use in lieu of a lesson one Sunday morning, or to host mid-week or as a community outreach on a Saturday. This event will help children of all ages to experience the Christmas story in a new and fun way.

Every child has been to a birthday party, so the elements of the party (games, cake, singing) will be familiar. But this is a birthday party with a twist. At this party we celebrate the GIFT and the GIVER by thanking God for sending Jesus to earth. As children play games, sing happy birthday, eat cake and more, they will be reminded of who Jesus is and why He came to earth.

In this 44 page file you'll find ideas for games/ activities, a lyric page for singing 'Happy Birthday Jesus,' printable game files, decorations, and a suggested script for telling the Christmas story. You'll also find tips for decorating for the party, ideas for scaling the party down for small groups or up for large groups and even instructions on how to send home a Jesus Birthday Party so families can celebrate at home instead of at the church.
