Pin the Star on the Stable

This is a fun game to play at a Christmas party!  Create a simple stable shape using poster board or draw on butcher paper.  Attach to wall.  Cut out enough stars for each student to have one and write their names on each one.  If you laminate the game pieces, you can re-use.  Attach double-sided tape to backs of stars.  Blindfolded child tries to place star in the center above the stable.
Older students may find it interesting that traditionally lambs were born in a cave rather than what we typically think of as a stable.  Do some research and share with them your findings.  Also research theories regarding the star that shone so brightly that holy night.
