Materials
- Crayons
- Paper
- Bibles/ copies of stories
Directions
- Recall with the children the stories of Mary that they have already studied: Joseph's dream about Mary being chosen as Jesus' mother; the visitation of Mary with Elizabeth (Luke 1:39-55); Mary presenting Jesus in the Temple).
- Divide the children into three groups. Assign one incident to each group to dramatize. Tell them to add more characters to the story--such as onlookers in the Temple--as appropriate. Some can create scenery or background on butcher paper.
- Remind the children of Mary's willingness to do God's will.
