>   Just Thought I'd share what we do every year in my class in Dec. I made

> kids each decorated a mini stocking with their name on it. I then
> stapled them to a paper mantel. The kids drew secret santa names and
> every morning in their stocking is a smalll piece of candy with a
> different clues taped to it. IF they are there on time they go to their
> stocking and pull out the candy with the slip of paper on it. For ex.
> "Revelation is great" is written on the slip that is taped. On the back
> I've hand written 8:2-3. The students have to get it right in order to
> keep it, If they get it wrong they then have to give their candy to
> their secret santa secretly after they have ripped off the slip of
> paper. That's how they know it's from their secret Santa if it has no
> paper. Every day after class I take out all the candy still in
> stockings and start again filling them the next day.

> BREAD of LIFE
> Then the person conducting (I rotate between all students, since I don't
> believe in putting one student above another- they are all equal to me)
> that day goes and rips off the chain for that day and reads "THE BREAD OF
> LIFE" she then teaches : here's the outline for this one

> after a few days of no food? READ John 6:48  Jesus is called the bread
> of Life.  Read John 6:47 Why is Jesus called that? What "life" are we
