Impromptu Family Nativity








Last year Temple Square in Salt Lake City Utah had a beautiful display of nativities from around the world. Many countries were represented and delightfully displayed. Why not incorporate a nativity into your own family get togethers.

Write on a piece of paper the various individuals in the nativity scene such as shepherds, wisemen, angels, Mary, Joseph, etc... Have each family member pick from a hat their assignment for the nativity. Then each person has 15 minutes to come up with their costume and meet back in the family room.

Choose a narrator. Then each person takes their place in the nativity as their part is read from the bible. (You can adapt this activity for younger children.) Take a family photo for fun and enjoy the memory of that moment!
