STATION J<br />

Hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah, Micah, and<br />

other prophets predicted that a Savior would come.<br />

At this station, families will get a chance to make their own predictions and celebrate the<br />

God who keeps His promises.<br />

Set up a table with five mystery boxes.<br />

Each box should have a number 1 through 5.<br />

For a more festive look, wrap the boxes <strong>in</strong> <strong>Christmas</strong> paper.<br />

To make it even more festive, set up a <strong>Christmas</strong> tree and place the five mystery boxes<br />

underneath the tree.<br />

Families will be <strong>in</strong>vited to shake the mystery boxes and make predictions about what’s<br />

<strong>in</strong>side each one.<br />

They’ll write their predictions <strong>in</strong> their Family Guide.<br />

Suggestions for what to put <strong>in</strong>side mystery boxes: 1) a roll of toilet paper, 2) a sponge,<br />

3) co<strong>in</strong>s, 4) a handful of macaroni, 5) LEGO bricks<br />

Set up a separate table with identical mystery boxes that are open.<br />

Families will get a chance to look <strong>in</strong>side to f<strong>in</strong>d out if their predictions are accurate.<br />

SUPPLIES:<br />

Mystery boxes (sealed)<br />

Mystery boxes (revealed)<br />

<strong>Christmas</strong> tree (optional)<br />

IDEA: If you’re expect<strong>in</strong>g a lot of families, set up several spots with the<br />

mystery boxes so that more than one family at a time can participate <strong>in</strong> this<br />

activity.<br />
