Day 2: Luke 1:5-25 We talked about Gabriel coming to tell Zachariah that Elizabeth his wife would have a baby. They were well along in years but with God's help they would become parents to John the baptist. We also talked about Zachariah lack of faith and how he was made to be unable to speak until the baby was born because of it.
We made the little angels that are on top of the stable on day 2.
Day 3: Luke 1:26-38 We learned that the same angel who appeared before Zachariah also appeared to Mary. Gabriel told Mary she would have God's son and he was to be called Jesus.
We added our angel (which doesn't actually go with the nativity set but well things happen when you have kids lol) and we added Mary. The craft pictured below also goes with day though we did not do the craft until day 4. The angels have lights inside so they will glow. I love this craft. It turned out better than I thought it would.
Day4: Luke 1:39-56 This day was all about Mary traveling to visit Elizabeth to share her good news and joy. When Elizabeth saw Mary the baby in Elizabeth's tummy leapt for joy. We are also joyful that Jesus was sent to earth so for today's activity we sang some songs.
The kids seems to learning a few things but mostly having fun. I am not sure how much they will actually remember of the story but I know they will remember the time we spent doing the activities together.
