在这个活动中，孩子们将通过感官来感受博士献给耶稣相似的礼物，并学习这些礼物的珍贵价值。

主题

耶稣降生、奉献

材料

宝盒／木盒／大型首饰盒

几件看起来像金子或金币的戏服首饰

一瓶香水或古龙水

一根大型香味蜡烛（如肉桂或香草等明显香味；不要花香）

包装纸、丝带／蝴蝶结

襁褓包着的娃娃或婴孩耶稣图片

一个大盒子或袋子，用来藏礼物

活动时间

大约15分钟

课前准备

预先收集所有材料，并尽量把物品“包装成礼物”的样子。包装不需要非常精致，但能提升孩子们的期待感。将礼物先放入一个大袋子或大盒子内，让孩子暂时看不到。在教室显眼处放一张马槽中的耶稣图片，或用毯子包裹一个娃娃作为“婴孩耶稣”。

说明

让全班孩子围成一个圈坐在地上，将礼物袋放在你身旁。

教师说：

“当耶稣降生时，博士们跟着天上的星星，花了很长的时间寻找祂。当他们终于到达时，他们带来了非常特别的礼物——只有献给君王的礼物！今天，我要给你们看一些和博士当年献给耶稣类似的宝物。”

1. 乳香（Frankincense）——香味蜡烛示范

（从袋子里取出包装好的香味蜡烛。）

让孩子们传递礼物、触摸、猜猜是什么。然后让他们轮流撕下一小块包装纸，直到整个蜡烛显现出来，再让孩子们闻一闻香味。

教师说：“这不是真正的乳香，但圣经中的‘乳香’是非常特别且昂贵的礼物。它被点燃时会飘出香气，充满整个房子——就像这支蜡烛！你们闻到香味了吗？好闻吗？”

2. 黄金（Gold）——金色首饰示范

取出包装好的“黄金”盒子，让孩子们摇一摇、猜猜里面是什么。同样让他们撕包装纸直到打开为止。

打开盒子后，教师说：“博士们也带了黄金。王和皇后通常拥有很多黄金，所以博士想把贵重的黄金献给耶稣王。而且，他们不只带了一样礼物，还带了第三份珍贵又昂贵的礼物。”

3. 没药（Myrrh）——香水示范

最后取出包装好的香水瓶。让孩子们摸一摸、摇一摇、闻闻外面的味道并猜猜它是什么。

教师说：“博士带来的最后一份礼物叫‘没药’。没药是一种非常昂贵的香膏，只在特别重要的场合才会使用。博士们给耶稣的礼物都非常贵重，因为他们知道耶稣值得最好的礼物。

我们也要向博士们学习，把我们的宝物、恩赐和才能献给耶稣。圣诞节是耶稣的生日，我们要记住-圣诞节最重要的是赞美祂！”

结束动作：

请孩子们小心地把三份礼物放在婴孩耶稣旁边，并一起对祂说：“耶稣，生日快乐！” 🎄✨

Exploring the Gifts of the Wise Men

In this activity, children will use their senses to explore similar gifts to those that the wise men gave Jesus, and they will learn how valuable these gifts were.by Lauren Shelnutt

TOPICS:

Birth of Jesus, Giving

MATERIALS:

• Treasure box/wooden box/large jewelry box

• Several pieces of costume jewelry that look like gold or fake gold coins

• A bottle of perfume or cologne

• A large scented candle (a distinct smell like cinnamon or vanilla—nothing floral)

• Wrapping paper and ribbon/bows

• Baby doll wrapped in a blanket or picture of Baby Jesus

• Large box or bag to hide the gifts from children’s sight

DURATION:

Approximately 15 minutes

PREPARATION:

Spend time gathering the materials needed and try to “dress up” objects to make them look like gifts. The wrapping doesn’t have to be ornate or elaborate but it builds excitement for the children. Then, use a large box or bag to keep the gifts out of sight until the children are ready to begin the activity. Set out a picture of Jesus in the manger, or wrap a baby doll in a blanket to look like Jesus and place in a prominent place in the classroom.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Instruct the class to sit in a circle on the classroom floor with the bag of gifts at your side.

Say, "When Jesus was born the wise men searched for Jesus for a very long time by following a star. When they arrived, they gave special gifts to Jesus—gifts fit for a king! Today, I want to show you some special gifts that are similar to the gifts and treasures that were given to Jesus so long ago. First, they gave Jesus frankincense." [Pull the wrapped candle out of the bag].

Pass the wrapped candle around and ask the children to hold it and touch it; making guesses about what the gift could be. Then, pass the gift around to the children and allow them to each rip a small piece of wrapping paper off the gift until they fully reveal the candle. Then, pass the candle around allowing the kids to smell it.

Say, "This isn’t exactly frankincense like in the Bible, but frankincense was an exceptional and very costly gift. When you light frankincense it gives off a wonderful smell that fills the whole house—just like a candle! Doesn’t it smell good?"

Pull the box filled with “gold’ out. Allow the children to shake the box and try to figure out what the gift is by guessing. Then, allow them to pass it around the circle pulling pieces of wrapping paper off. When the box is unveiled, open it and say, "The wise men also gave the gift of gold. Kings and queens usually had lots of gold. So, the wise men wanted to give a very costly gift of gold to King Jesus. But they didn’t stop there—they brought a third amazing and expensive gift to honor Jesus."

Finally, pull out the perfume. Allow the kids to inspect it and guess its contents by touching, shaking, and even smelling the wrapped perfume bottle.

Say, "The final gift the wise men brought is called Myrrh. Myrrh was a very expensive, special perfume used only on very extraordinary occasions because it cost so much money. The wise men gave gifts to Jesus that cost them dearly. We need to learn from the wise men and take our treasures, talents, and gifts and be willing to give them up for Jesus. Christmas is Jesus’ birthday and we need to remember that Christmas is all about praising Him!"

Instruct children to carefully take the three gifts and put them by the Baby Jesus and tell Him, “Happy Birthday.”
