A few days before Christmas I led a Las Posadas inspired activity for my homeschool group. I wanted to review the Christmas story with the children in a interactive way. We had some limitations - not a lot of space, and a very good chance of rain that day - and I wanted to do something that would involve all but the littlest of the 30 or so children who would be present. I found a Las Posadas skit and made a lot of modifications. I thought I would share what we did (as unseasonable as it might be at this point!) in hopes that it might be useful to someone next year.
Materials:
Simple costumes for Mary and Joseph
Blank paper and markers or crayons
A small box or basket to use as a manger and a swaddled doll
Some stuffed farm animals
Simple scripts for Mary, Joseph and the Innkeepers (see end of this post)
