Follow the Star: Advent Week 2

As we worked through the week with What God Wants for Christmas, I started trying to come up with more concrete activities to help reinforce the events around the character we had added to the nativity scene for the day.

On the day that we opened the package containing three wise men and a camel, I decided to play follow-the-star.

I made a star out of yellow construction paper (very quickly) and after we'd finished reading and talking about the wise men, we played follow-the-star.  Yes, this activity was really just follow-the-leader with the person at the head of the line holding the star.  We all took turns being the leader with the star.  It was silly fun and helped stick in their minds that the wise men had traveled a long way to come worship Jesus.
