Witnesses of Jesus Birth
I'll Be A Witness for My Lord
The birth and infancy of Christ were marked by witnesses and worshippers from many walks of life. Actively explore 12 witness stories with your kids by drawing cards (from the"Witnesses of Jesus Birth" play mat folder game), reading the corresponding scriptures, and finding clues as to what you learn about ways to worship and witness of Christ.
After drawing a card, reading the scriptures and finding clues as to how to worship and witness of Jesus, Sing/Listen to "I'LL WITNESS FOR JESUS."
What does it mean to stand as a witness of God the Father and Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places”? (Mosiah 18:9).
How have you seen others act, speak, or look in ways that reflect their belief in Jesus Christ? What ways can you be a witness for Jesus? Talk about ways you can be a witness for Jesus, with or without the "I'll Witness For Jesus" folder game. (Kids draw cards, read the scriptures and discuss, then add the card to the folder mat pages).
Let kids sing along with the "I'll Be a Witness" Kids Version!! - video coming
[Matthew 5:14–16 and 3 Nephi 18:24]

The Wise Men gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. How can you use this story to teach the children that they can give gifts to Jesus too—gifts like love, service, and obedience*?
