Read over the Bible passage below. Then gather up some decorating supplies (crayons, paint, stickers, markers, etc.) and a huge piece of poster board (this can be purchased from somewhere like Walmart for $1 or so). Choose someone you know like a grandparent, teacher, or neighbor to whom you would like to show some love and encouragement. Spend the evening making and decorating a giant encouragement card for them. As you work, go through the questions below. Pick a day to deliver your card as a family.

Gather up a bunch of supplies that you can build a platform out of. This could be popsicle sticks or crafts sticks, toothpicks, que-tips, sticks from the yard, or even just some random cardboard pieces you have lying around. Work together to build a base that you can stack things on top of. After it’s built, start stacking heavy things (like books or blocks) on it to see how long it will stay up. You could even get a bunch of fans or blowers to see if you can knock it over. Afterwards, read the Bible passage and talk through the questions.

Take time to mix it together as a family. Have fun playing with it and making a mess. As you clean up, have someone read the Bible story below, and then talk through the questions together.

Read through the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus (listed below). Once you’ve done that, go through the house and gather supplies to make a diorama of the scene with Zacchaeus in the tree with Jesus talking to him. Use an old shoebox and find some sticks, dirt and other small things to build the road to Jericho. You can use something like pipe cleaners or wire to make little stick figures of Jesus and Zacchaeus (and the crowd on the road too if you want to get super detailed). As you put it together, talk through the questions below.
