Picture a Christmas
 



Visual Aids for this song by Jolly Jen.

 


 

(Credit Unknown) I borrowed visuals from a previous chorister. I posted them up in the front of the room, in order. Then, I took an empty picture frame and "framed" each visual as we sang it. Then, I passed out little die cut, cardstock "frames" to all the kids. We sang it again as they followed my frame with their frame. I told the kids they would either have to hold their frame up close, or far away from their face, and maybe squint, depending on where they were sitting. They thought it was really fun!
 



Picture a Christmas - Actions

Picture a stable in Judea (I had the kids act like they were taking a picture then made house with hands)

Picture a sacred silent night (I had the kids act like taking picture then fold arms then put finger to lips)

And can you hear (Put hand to ear)

The angels near (sign language for angel)

And see the star so bright (Burst hands for star)

Picture the little baby Jesus (Cradle arms like have baby then sign language for Jesus)

Think His life and words so dear (Point at head then put finger to mouth and move in circle as if speaking)

Sing Praise to Him (sign language for praise then hand above head toward sky for Him)

Remember Him (Point at head then hand above head toward sky for Him)

As you picture Christmas this year (act like taking picture and then spread hands outward for year)

Picture a kind and loving Joseph (Act like taking a picture then do sign language for father)

Picture the Mary mother fair (Act like taking a picture then do sign language for mother)

And can you see, so reverently (Make glasses at your eyes then fold arms)

The Shepherds kneeling there (Draw and shepherd's crook then fold arms and bow head)
