Elementary Family Actions:
Unbox the Story
WHAT YOU NEED: Box for story props, tree branch (or green construction paper leaf), Coin, Bag of coins, Food item (plastic or real), foam heart, sad face, small Jesus figure
WHAT YOU DO: Place the box in the middle of your group. Explain that you’re going to “unbox” the story of Zacchaeus, just like in an unboxing video. Let kids take turns pulling one item out of the box. As each item is revealed, ask the kids how it connects to the story by asking the corresponding question.
Tree branch: “What did Zacchaeus climb to see Jesus?”
Coin: “What was Zacchaeus’s job? What did he do that was unfair?”
Sad face: “How did people feel about Zacchaeus?”
Jesus figure: “Who came to town that day?”
Heart: “Who loved Zacchaeus when no one else did?”
Happy face: “How did Zacchaeus feel after Jesus showed him love?”
Food item: “What did Jesus do at Zacchaeus’s house?”
Bag of coins: “What did Jesus do after Zacchaeus was changed by Jesus’ love?”
WHAT YOU SAY: “You unboxed the whole story! Zacchaeus was not a very liked person, but Jesus saw him and loved him anyway. Jesus looked up into the sycamore-fig tree and called him out, saying, Zacchaeus, come down at once. I must stay at your house today. (Luke 19:5 NIrV). It changed Zacchaeus! He decided to give back the money he had taken and be generous. That’s because the love of Jesus can change things for the better.”
