Description

A mixed-age Christmas skit where older children lead younger children through a reenactment of the first Christmas. The older group discusses how to teach the real meaning of Christmas in a new, creative way. Their solution: take the younger children on a journey to “search for the star” that led to Jesus. As they narrate, the younger children silently perform the nativity scenes, creating a beautiful blend of teaching, storytelling, and visual drama.
