Have fun with your preschooler by taping a path of paper squares to the floor for a mystery walk. Have your child follow the squares to a surprise at the end of the path, perhaps a snack, reading books, or game. Encourage your child to draw something about God on each square. Talk about how God guides us.
n ELEMENTARY Truths
Play an indoor game of Flee to Egypt, better known as Hide-and Seek. Have the seeker be Herod trying to find baby Jesus, while everyone else hides him. Be sure you talk to your elementary-age child about why Herod was afraid of Jesus.
n Time with TEENAGERS
Talk to your teenager about finding comfort in Scripture when he or she is feeling lonely, stressed, scared, or just tired. Have your teenager read the verse listed in the "Through the Week" corner and find others in a concordance or Bible index. Ask your teenager to copy his or her favorite verse of "comfort" and tape it to the favorite place for the whole family to read.
