Divide the group into three smaller groups and assign each group one of the words listed below. Read the story. After each of the words is read pause for the group to make the appropriate response.
CHRISTMAS
"Let it snow."
SANTA
"Ho, Ho, Ho"
ANY REINDEER NAME
"I'll pull Santa's Sleigh"
One CHRISTMAS____ Eve the weather was horrible. The snowstorm was so bad SANTA____ could not see past the front of his cherry nose. What was SANTA____to do? He asked all of his reindeer for helpful ideas.
DASHER____ told SANTA____ he could try to fly extra fast. This would create static energy, which would light up the sky. Unfortunately, even though DASHER____ could dash very fast, it wasn't fast enough.
DANCER____ and PRANCER____ found some CHRISTMAS____ tree lights to tie to the sleigh, but as soon as SANTA____ and the reindeer were 100 feet off the ground the cord came unplugged and they were in the dark again.
RUDOLPH____ who usually saved the day with his bright shiny nose had finally gotten over his cold and now had a regular black one like all the other reindeer.
VIXEN____and BLITZEN____ gathered up some tinsel that sparkled. CUPID____ and DONNER____ who thought it was hay, ate it for a late night snack.
COMET____ decided to shine the chrome on SANTA'S____ sleigh. It shone so brightly SANTA____ could see for miles. Everyone had a great CHRISTMAS____ that year thanks to COMET____ and some elbow grease.
