Some activities that are optional. At least read all the way to the end for an explanation of trust and obedience shown by Mary!

A Science experiment to illustrate “trust”:

Equipment needed:

• A glass of water (about half- 2/3 filled)
• An index card.

Holding onto the top of the card with one hand, I moved my other hand

down the glass, towards the bottom of it. I then carefully flipped the

glass upside down, while making sure you to keep holding the card in

place. I slowly moved my card holding a hand out from

underneath and the card stuck, holding the water without it spilling.

This is an example of trusting God even if it does not “make sense”.

A Game to illustrate “obedience”

The “Obedience Game”

Equipment needed:

• Paper plates
• Markers

The children were each given a paper plate and were asked to place it on top of their heads.

They were then given a series of instructions that would lead them to draw a “house”.

1. Draw a triangle

2. Beneath it, draw a square

3. Inside the square, draw a circle

This game illustrated the following concept:

 We may not understand what God is asking us to do when we are starting out but we will understand at the end.

Following both games/experiment, think about the story of the Virgin Mary while tying key points to the games:

She was told that she would conceive and give birth to a son who would reign over Jacob’s descendants: Trust

Her response to Archangel Gabriel beautifully illustrates her Obedience

 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be

fulfilled.” (Luke 1:38)

I pray to have the faith and obedience of our Mother, the Holy Virgin Saint Mary.

God bless,
