To make megaphones as instruments to share the message of Jesus' birth like the angels did

The children will realize that like the angels, we are all called to be God's messengers.

Materials

Directions:

After using the CD for "Jesus is Born," recall the role that the angels played in announcing Jesus' birth.

Demonstrate with a piece of construction paper how you roll it to form the megaphone.
Invite the children to decorate the papers by adding star stickers and the words "Share the Good News!" before rolling them and stapling them into megaphone shapes.
Ask the children what messages they would like to share about God or Jesus.
