2. Activity
The Wisemen are looking for Jesus.
1. Everyone sits in a circle. 1-3 participants (depending on the
size of the group are chosen as wisemen and asked to leave the
room. While they are away, one person is chosen to be “Jesus.”
The person chosen as “Jesus” will secretly wink at others in the
circle.

3. His objective is to not get caught by the wisemen. Anyone in the
circle who sees that they have been winked at by “Jesus” sings
the first line of a Christmas Carol and continues to play.
(Alternatively they can shout, “Behold, I bring you tidings of
great joy!”

4. The wisemen are then called back into the room and asked to
find “Jesus.” Once the wisemen are able to identify “Jesus”,
start the game again with a new set of wisemen and a new
“Jesus.”
This game is a great lead in to the story of the wisemen.
