None

Game Preparation
Divide the youth into twelve groups of any size.

Game Play
Group everyone into 12 teams. Give each team one verse of the twelve days of Christmas song. They will be responsible for singing that verse of the song. As the teams sing their verse, they are to act it out (i.e. eight maids a milking, six geese a laying, partridge in a pear tree). Allow each team a few minutes together to determine what motions they plan to do. Then sing the song together for lots of fun!

No one can fracture a Christmas carol better than a kid. Unfortunately they sometimes get the words a little confused. Sing along with these new takes on old favorites:

Deck the Halls with Buddy Holly [Bows of Holly]
We three kings of porridge and tar [Orient are]
On the first day of Christmas my tulip gave to me [true love]
He’s makin’ a list, chicken and rice. Santa Clause is Coming to Town [Checking it twice]
Noel. Noel, Barney’s the king of Israel. [Born is]
With the jelly toast proclaim [Heavenly Host]
Olive, the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names… [all of]
Frosty the Snowman is a ferret elf, I say [fairy tale they say] 
Sleep in heavenly peas [Peace]
In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is sparse and brown [Parson Brown]
You’ll go down in listerine [History]
Oh, what fun it is to ride with one horse, soap and hay [open sleigh]
Come, froggy faithful [all ye]
You’ll tell Carol, “Be a skunk, I require”[Yuletide carol, fa la la la la lala la la]
Good tidings we bring to you and your kid [kin]

An Old English Traditional Christmas Carol

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.

The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a blossom
As white as the lily flower,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet savior.

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good.

The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn.

The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all.

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
