Christmas Nativity Follow the Star Game

Item description

This is a complete game that could be used for the Christmas nativity or for Epiphany. It can either be used as a fun game or educational tool for Jesus’ birth. There are 2 versions of the game to get the gifts to baby Jesus using the same game board!

The game includes….

• Game Board – 2 pages

• Directions (1 for each version)

• Star Cards (educational or fun)

• Blank Cards (editable)

• Optional Card Backs

• Die, Player Tokens (3), and a Tab Label

There are 2 versions of the game. One is for “fun” and the other is educational to be used as a review or supplemental material on the birth of Jesus. In the first version, the Star Cards have fun actions (move ahead, skip a turn, etc) depending on the card drawn. On the educational Star Cards, there are questions related to Luke 1-2 and Matthew 1-2. In addition to questions, there are true or false and fill in the blank. The object of both versions is to be the first player/team to get your gift to the manger!

The blank cards are editable so that you can add your own actions or questions. Optional card backs are also included. The game can be printed and mounted in a file folder or printed on card stock and laminated. If mounted in a file folder, there is a tab label included and the directions could be mounted on the front of the file folder or laminated separately.

Also included are 3 player tokens (the gifts of the magi) and a die numbered with 1-5 and a star. If desired, you could use your own, but these are designed for the game.

NOTE: The questions on the Star Cards are from the RSVBCE, so they are aimed toward Catholic use, but could be adapted for any religion.

UPDATE: (12/16/2020) This has been updated to the Revised Standard Version: Catholic Edition (RSVBCE), so they go along with the other nativity activities and uniform with other items at The Treasured Schoolhouse. This update can not be seen in the preview, but is shown in one of the thumbnails.
