Gimmie! Gimmie! Christmas Game

Based on our popular Thanksgiving version, Gimmie! Gimmie! Christmas is a fast-paced, holiday trading game that illustrates thankfulness vs. selfishness.  

 

Ideal for just a few kids as well as large groups, the object is to collect a complete set of Christmas cards, while avoiding the greedy Gimmie! Gimmie!  

 

Adapted by Karl Bastian as a solution for understaffed volunteer situations around the holidays, this Gimmie! Gimmie! game provides an interactive object lesson while requiring just a few leaders to run.

 

NEW in the Christmas Edition: Complete rules for the Base Game as well as "Build a Christmas Nativity" variant. In addition, expanded lesson application ideas help strengthen use of the game as a Biblical illustration.

Movie Review: Rise of the Guardians
Rise of the Guardians"Guess the movie: An evil force has threatened the earth. A team of superstar heroes band together to overcome it. Evil is defeated. The Avengers? Not this time!" writes Kidology Kidmin Pro Nancy Keith in her review of Rise of the Guardians

"The heroes are North (aka Santa), Sand (the Sandman), Bunnymund (the Easter Bunny), Jack Frost, and Tooth (the Tooth Fairy)."

"But is this a film that kids should be seeing?"

As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, and teachable themes with scripture.

Where's The Beef?  
Kidmin Talk

The "Beef" is the Bible; how much Bible is in your ministry? Or do you find it missing? 

 

If the Bible - and not our programs - is to be kids' map, guide, owner's manual, and guide for life, we need to equip them to use it!

In the the latest episode of Kidmin Talk, Karl discusses how we need to start with the Bible first in our  preparation, not with curriculum.
