free christmas bible study lessons for adults

(If you have older children, you don't have to play musical chairs, you can place markers on the floor and have one marker different. Take away one chair every time some one leaves to get his or her snack. Tell them that they are going to play musical chairs and the person who sits on the chair with a sticker gets to pick from the bag. Have your children stand in front of one of the chairs and start your music. If you get one that says, 'Have a snack', you get to go sit down and eat your snack. If you get one with a scripture, I will read it to find out what God said about Jesus, and you will have to wait just like the Israelites had to wait. We are going to take turns picking out pieces of paper. Some of the papers have, 'Have a snack' written on them. These are the same scriptures that the Israelites had long ago. (Hold up your bag.) I have a bunch of pieces of paper in this bag some of them have scriptures from the Bible on them that tell about Jesus. They would have known all kinds of things about him. They would have known that it was time for their new king to come. If they had read the scriptures and believed, they would have been expecting him. God told the Israelites all about Jesus before he was born. They just have to be patient and wait and see. But parents don't really know much at all about their babies. They may have known what hospital they would go to when it was time for you to be born.

Your parents may have picked out a name for you before you were born. Doctors can take pictures of a baby before it is born, although sometimes they are wrong. How much did your parents know about you before you were born? They may have known if you were going to be a boy or a girl. Read the paper and have him do what it says to do on the paper.īefore you start the game talk about the following: When you stop the music have the child who sat on the chair with the sticker pick a piece of paper from the bag. In class have your children walk around the chairs in a circle while you play Christmas music. Place a special sticker on one of the chairs.ĥ. Set up chairs like you would for Musical Chairs. Place them all in a pretty Christmas gift bag.ģ. Cut out some more pieces of paper and write, 'Have a snack' on them. Before class print out the Scripture Papers, cut them apart, and roll them up and tie them with ribbon to make them look like Bible scrolls.Ģ.
