Back with segment 3 of our Polar Express Ward (church) Christmas party (invitations here, bell tags here).  This time I have free printable train tickets, which I made to coordinate with the invites & bell tags (both free printables!!).  We are going to have a ticket booth set up where each family can “purchase” their train ticket as they walk into the lobby.  The lobby is going to act as our train station.  Then they will line up to board the “train” (i.e.… Read the rest “Polar Express Train Tickets Free Printable”

I’m back with segment 2 of our Polar Express Christmas party (invitations here, printable tickets here, polar express quote subway art here)- the party favors.  Santa will be handing these out to all the good little boys & girls when they sit on his knee.

We loved the idea of handing out bells to the children to go along with the theme of the book, but we also wanted it to have some more spiritually significant meaning.  I like the spiritual parallels in the book, and this tag just brings them a little more to the forefront.  … Read the rest “Polar Express Bell Tags”

Hi-ho!  I am knee-deep planning a Christmas party for my ward (church group) for about 250 people.  I am a little stressed, not gonna lie, but luckily I have lots of helpers!  Our party is super early (December 5th) so I wanted to get the invitations done this week.  In the event that you too are looking for inspiration for a Christmas party theme, I am here to share the invitations with you today.

Primary Board Meeting Invitation

Hello, Hello!  So it’s October.  And every time someone mentions something about the year “drawing to a close” or “Christmas is X number of days away” I feel my pulse quicken and I start to perspire.  (TMI??)  I’m trying my very best to enjoy this lovely time of year- I’m a native New Englander by-golly.  This is “our” time of year!  There is just so much to be done!

Among those things is our annual Primary Board In-Service.  *groan*  That’s right, “in-service” and “fun” really just don’t go together do they?  So we have come to call them “Ladies Night In” around here.  … Read the rest “Primary Board Meeting Invitation”

Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016

primary sharing time assignment cards

One of the highlights of our opening exercises each Sunday is “mail time”.  We have a little mailbox (that really could use a facelift at this point actually) and in it we put the assignments for the following Sunday (you know, opening prayer, scripture, talk etc).  This year we will also be putting in scripture hero clue cards.

Each week at the end of all our opening exercises and right before we transition into singing time, we pick a child who has been reverent to be our “mailman”.  It is quite the honor, and they do not take the responsibility lightly.  … Read the rest “Primary Sharing Time Assignment Cards: 2016”
