A spectacular act that is so easy to do it will surprise you!
The following act is all about the Magi arriving at the stable and giving their presents to Joseph and Mary. It is educational, fun and spectacular with some magic fire at the end of the act. And you know what? You can do this too. It is so easy...
The Magi arrived in Bethlehem and saw Jesus. They worshipped him and give him their presents. To demonstrate the giving of these three presents you use The Incredible Kettle and pour water in the first glass. Somewhere during the pouring the water turns red.
Who knows what the red present was? Incense!
Now you pour the second glass and to your surprise the water turns yellow. This yellow water is a symbol for the second present: gold!
And the third present?
Again you pour water in a glass. This time the water turns green: myrrh!
After pouring the water you lift off the lid, reach in and pull out a long (and bone dry) rainbow streamer! This streamer is a demonstration of the celebration in the stable.
To create a spectacular moment, take a piece of flash paper and light it! This will create a real flame in the air. The boys especially will love this!
You can finish this act with a dove pan and a large sponge cake.

In the video below I will show you how you can use this amazing act during your Christmas service, school assembly or in your Sunday school lesson.
Don't forget – any children’s worker can do this! It only needs a little bit of practice. So give it a try!
