Name Building Blocks
My husband said the Isaiah 9:6 verse always makes him think of climbing a mountain.
He explained that it feels like the names are building on each other, reaching to the top.
Have students write the names of Jesus on boxes (shoe boxes?) and do a memory verse STACKING activity.
Discussion idea: You could also put a question inside each box, and toss the box to a student to open and answer it.
Reflection: And finally, you can have each student write an idea about the name, and put it in each box for a reflection reading.
ADD some Bible dictionary work to define and explain what Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Immanuel mean. These definitions could be written on the underside of their respective box, and used for a quiz where students see how many boxes (names) they can define correctly in the shortest amount of time.
