Hide N' Seek Shoes
Put everyone's shoes in a big pile. Blindfold each person and at the signal to "go," see who can be the first to identify and put on their shoes just by feeling them.
Ask:
How did you know which shoes were yours? (by touching, hopefully not by smelling them)
How did you know which shoes were yours? (by touching, hopefully not by smelling them)
How did we know that Jesus was God's Son? (by the words He spoke, by the miracles He did, by the prophecies He fulfilled, by His willingness to obey and die on the cross, etc.)

"What can people tell about us by what comes out of our mouths?"
If you have young children, play sound charades to try and identify animals/machines/anything. Choose one person to be "it" who will make an animal sound while the rest of the family will try to guess the identity of the animal or machine or whatever.
Ask:
How were you able to guess the animal/machine/whatever? (by the sound it makes)
Jesus spoke words of truth and words that pleased His heavenly Father. People could tell He was from God by the words that He said.
What can people tell about us by what comes out of our mouths?

Guess Who
Play the game, Guess Who, if you have it. If not, make up your own game. Pick about seven or eight family members' pictures and put them face down. Let one person be "it" and ask them to choose one picture, but not let anyone see it. The others should ask "it" questions to guess the identity of the person he chose. (Is it a man? Does she have brown hair? Is she a teenager? Does he wear glasses?)
Ask:
How were able to guess the correct person? (by hearing about their physical characteristics - brown hair, glasses, etc.)
The Old Testament gave many characteristics about the coming Messiah - the One God promised to send to take away our sins. It named the town where He would be born, told what His name would be, said He would born of a virgin, and even told how He would die. Jesus fulfilled all of those things. God wanted to make sure that people would recognize Him. Jesus was truly the Son of God!
