Holy Journey Family Game

Brendan Murphy on November 10, 2022

Take a Holy Journey during Advent- a game for all ages.

Supplies: Deck of Cards (with the jokers) for this journey.

To Start:
• Begin by putting your stable in a special central place in your home.
• Then spread the Holy Family crew throughout that room or even your whole home.

You might want to hide the baby Jesus somewhere very special (but don’t forget where).
RULES:
• Mary & Joseph may not arrive at the stable until Dec. 20th
• Jesus may not arrive at the stable until December 24!
• The entire Holy Family may move together from the stable after December 25.
• The Wise Men may not meet the Holy Family until January 5th
• Each day you will draw one card. The shape decides what moves, the number/type decides how:

• Any Heart: Move the Holy Family.
• Any Spade: Move the Angels.
• Any Diamond: Move the Wise Men, and any ‘other’ characters.
• Any Club: Move the Shepherds.
• Numbers 2-5: Move them closer to the stable.
• Numbers 6-10: Move them further from the stable.
• King: Add a leader (real or fictional) to your stable scene. You can print a
picture, draw a picture or use a toy.
• Queen: Add someone, or something that represents someone, in need to your
stable scene. Print an image, draw a picture or symbol, or use a toy.
• Jack: Add more animals and creatures to your path to your scene. Print, draw
or use a toy.
• Ace: Add your family, friends and people you love to the journey to the scene.
Print or draw these people.
• Joker: Sin and grief. Everything must be moved further from the stable and
each other.
