Supplies needed: Shoe box (covered or plain with a lid), various Christmas related objects such as a candy cane, a baby blanket, an apron, a Christmas ornament, a bell, and a shopping list
Use this fun idea when you have a few extra minutes. Fill a shoe box with the items chosen. To tell the story, remove an item, such as the candy cane, and say, “One day at the mall, my mom bought me a candy cane!” Invite students to add to the story; then remove other items, in turn, to add new story elements.
