For class in a few weeks on Catholic morality, asked students to write down and hand in their favorite movie, TV show, video game, and/or book. (also which movie/TV watch most since family may watch something diff from their favs) Students are to think of a scene in movie/book/etc to discuss in class; must be approved first for content (write down/email).
All students wanted to present favorites above to class. They were presented.
Activity (last Sunday of Christmas season):
Without using Bible and using a Catholic Liturgical Year Calendar, students broke into two groups (competition) to see who could come up with the biblical Christmas story most accurately (from memory; see Gospels of Matthew and Luke). The story was to include all about childhood as infant (before lost in Temple from Mary and Joseph).
Presented stories and discussed them. They hit the main points.
Other points missed/incorrect: Jesus wasn't actually baptized in the Christmas story, even though His baptism is the last day of liturgical Christmas season. Most forgot about John the Baptist completely (Gabriel to Mary; leaping in womb). Holy innocents: King Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus since he was a threat to his earthly power.
