STATION J Hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah, Micah, and other prophets predicted that a Savior would come. At this station, families will get a chance to make their own predictions and celebrate the God who keeps His promises. Set up a table with five mystery boxes. Each box should have a number 1 through 5. For a more festive look, wrap the boxes in Christmas paper. To make it even more festive, set up a Christmas tree and place the five mystery boxes underneath the tree. Families will be invited to shake the mystery boxes and make predictions about what’s inside each one. They’ll write their predictions in their Family Guide. Suggestions for what to put inside mystery boxes: 1) a roll of toilet paper, 2) a sponge, 3) coins, 4) a handful of macaroni, 5) LEGO bricks Set up a separate table with identical mystery boxes that are open. Families will get a chance to look inside to find out if their predictions are accurate. SUPPLIES: Mystery boxes (sealed) Mystery boxes (revealed) Christmas tree (optional) IDEA: If you’re expecting a lot of families, set up several spots with the mystery boxes so that more than one family at a time can participate in this activity. || 08 ||
