Twelve Days of Christmas Song

(by birthday month)

(Have the group sing the song “Twelve Days of Christmas”. Assign the different gifts according the birthday months. At the appropriate time in the song every one with a birthday in that month should stand up together and sing the corresponding part of the song. I usually gave a small gift to each participant, e.g. miniature candy bar, candy cane, etc.)
