STATION S It's interesting that Jesus' birth was first revealed to shepherds, who held a lowly status in society. They were considered so unreliable that their testimonies were inadmissible in Jewish courts, and they were even deemed unclean by the religious establishment. Yet, God chose these humble shepherds to spread the message of the Messiah, making them the world's first evangelists. As Luke recounts, the shepherds wasted no time in sharing their remarkable encounter with the angels and the birth of the Savior. Those who heard their account were filled with excitement and amazement. At this station, family members will experience the challenges of the shepherd’s life as they compete in the Shepherd Showdown race and they will experience the joy of telling others about Jesus during the Baa-lievers activity. SHEPHERD SHOWDOWN GAME Family members will compete by guiding their "sheep" (potatoes) through a challenging zig-zag path marked with masking tape using only their shepherd's staff (broomstick). SUPPLIES: Potatoes (sheep) Broomsticks (shepherd's staff) Masking tape (path) Variations: To make it more challenging, you can add obstacles or increase the length of the path. || 12 ||
STATION S - continued RULES 1. Set up the zig-zag path on the floor with masking tape. 2. Each player gets a potato (sheep) and a broomstick (shepherd's staff). 3. On "Go," players must use either end of their broomsticks to gently guide their potatoes through the path without letting them roll outside. 4. If a potato goes off the path, the player must stop, retrieve it, and continue from where it left the path. 5. The player who completes the path in the shortest time wins. BAA-LIEVERS Family members will follow the prompts in their Family Guide and declare what Jesus means to them by writing their faith statements on sheep balloons.
