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.
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!”

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.
