Nativity Treasure Hunt

"We saw a star in the East and have come to worship him." Matthew 2:2

 There has often been confusion over these three men who came to visit Jesus. Were they Kings? Magi? Did they visit Jesus on the night he was born or when he was a toddler. What about the strange gifts they brought? Such questions make for good family conversations.

Read Matthew 2:1-12 to learn about the story of the "wise men" who traveled far from the east to worship the king of the jews. We do now they watched the night skies and a new star appeared when Christ was born. This start led them to Jesus. Finding the Christ child was like finding a treasure. 

Play this hunt and seek game to remember the wise men who sought the baby King.

Everyone loves a treasure hunt. Cut out some stars and write a series of clues on them. Give your family a starting point such as the coat closet. Post a star on the door that will lead to the second star clue and that will lead them to the third and so forth. Here are some suggestions:

This is a colds spot (inside the refrigerator)
This always reflects you (on their bathroom mirror)
This is music to your ears (tape or cd player or IPod)
The last clue : The Greatest Treasure of All!( The Nativity scene)
