9 Ending Skit (10 mins) Hello children, welcome back! Did you enjoy the games? I hope you did!... Wait! Have they found the presents yet? Have they? Have they? (looks with expectant eyes) Woah, calm down LiWu! I m sure these detectives here have figured out where your presents are. Right children? If that s the case, then where are they? (recap of different locations) In the kitchen? The dining room? The bedroom? The toilet? Or the attic? (curious+scratches head) Well, let s quickly ask the detectives what they concluded after looking through the clues then! (turns to children) So children, where are the presents? Shout out your answer as loud as you can! ( ) Prezzie! Let s quickly check if the presents are really in the ATTIC as the detectives have pointed out! Let s go, let s go!! (next slide zooms into the room and animation of presents pops up) Look, look! The presents are indeed there! Great job detectives! WOOHOO!! YAY! My presents are found at last. I m so happy! Now all these gifts, I m sure Christmas would definitely be very very merry! Yipee! (celebratory dance) (shakes head) Oh LiWu! That s actually not true...you have already received the greatest kind of gift you ever can receive! (pause) Huh...what are you talking about? I don t understand! What do you mean that I have received the greatest gift already? You mean I had it all along? Where? (searches in the pockets and around the floor) No no no. It s not that kind of gift! The greatest gift I m talking about is Jesus! God, who is the greatest giver, gave us Jesus -the greatest gift for us [slide] so that through Jesus death on the cross we may receive salvation and eternal life! Did you know that receiving salvation and eternal life is so much more precious than these presents? These presents will one day spoil and you will have to thrown them away but salvation and eternal life will not! Oooo really? That sounds amazing -I want to know more!!
