Creative Youth Ideas Find Jesus Are you observant enough to find Jesus?
ActivityThe Wisemen are looking for Jesus. Everyone sits in a circle. 1-3 participants (depending on the size of the group) are chosen as Wisemenand 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 Wisemenare then called back into the room and asked to find "Jesus." Once the Wisemenare able to identify "Jesus", start the game again with a new set of Wisemenand a new "Jesus." CreativeChristmasIdeas.com
