Bible Lesson Plans for Christmas
A Christmas Unit Study (Bible) ~ Christmas is such an amazing time of year to celebrate the birth of the blessed baby, Jesus. While parents and teachers who are teaching about the events of the Bible, and the events of the seasons, why not turn it into a fun unit study? Add some math, science, social studies, language arts, art, and music to your lesson plans with some of these ideas.
There are several sections to this unit, so, please click on the other subjects you are interested in. I hope this collection of resources will be helpful to parents and teachers in planning your lessons. Please leave me a note if you have Christmas lesson materials you would like me to add to the unit.
Bible
"All about Jesus" Christmas Celebration! My children and I have so enjoyed doing Bible study activities from 'Homeschooled Kids' by Debbie Perkins over the past several years. Her Christmas unit is wonderful as ever. She has this easy, natural way of writing that speaks to children, helping them to understand even difficult topics. From the home page, many sections of the unit may be accessed such as: Christmas Welcome Center, Keep Christ In Christmas, The First Christmas, Legend of the Candy Cane, Jesus The Messiah, Rudie's Christmas Adventure, The Greatest Gift, Santa's Workshop, History of Santa Claus, Reindeer Food, North Pole Post Office, Order Letter From Santa, North Pole Card Shop, Christmas Crafts, Fun & Games Room, Make A Snowman, Rudie Tac Toe, Christmas Around The World, Christmas Recipes, Gift Ideas In A Jar, Christmas Cookies, Gingerbread Fun, Host A Cookie Swap, and Grownup Recipes.
Oh, did I mention that the graphics are adorable? Well, they are definitely a bonus to the assortment of creative materials that you will enjoy here!
