One of the most popular posts on this site is 25 Christmas Jokes You Can Tell Kids. Christmas is such a great time for children's ministries. You can teach
kids who Jesus is, why He came and what it means to follow Him. It's crucial to focus on sharing the true meaning of Christmas.
That being said, it's also a great time to connect with the kids through
Christmas jokes. Kids love jokes. You can use these with one kid
before service, in a large group or small group.
One cool thing you can do is set up a portable puppet stage in a common place in the hallway or foyer. You can then have a puppet interact with the kids and families when they are in the hallway or foyer before or after the service. You can purchase cloth that enables the puppeteer to see the kids without them seeing him or her.
Just make sure you have properly trained the person who will be the puppeteer. I found this out the hard way when one of our puppets cussed out a kid. Yes, you read that correctly. You can read more about the puppet who cussed out a kid at this link.
And often at Christmas, churches will have guests. It's also when all
the CEO's show up (Christmas-Easter-Only). These kids and families are
also a group you want to engage with while they are at your service. If
the kids have a great experience, they will bug mom and dad to bring
them more often.
Have fun using some of these jokes this Christmas season to connect with kids. All it takes is one funny joke to bring down the wall a child may have put up. Once that wall is down and they've decided to engage with you, you can share God's Word with them heart to heart. Start with a joke that gets kids to laugh and helps them connect with you. Which means you will have a great opportunity to share the true meaning of Christmas.
Enjoy!
