Sunday School Craft Ideas

Mary Kate | | Comments (0)

One of my favorite lessons is teaching my 9-11 year olds about the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Use the Sunday school craft ideas and discussion topics to emphasize how important it is to give to others.

Discussion:
Ask the students why we celebrate Christmas.

Bible Story:
Have the students read from the following passages about Jesus’ birth:
Matthew 1: 18-25
Luke 1: 26-38
Luke 2: 1-20

Several students can read until the passages have been read. Talk about the Christmas story so that you can make sure that they have understood what they have read.

Discussion:
Ask the students what the real reason is behind the Christmas celebration. Talk about ways that they can give to others, besides getting presents for their friends and family members. Encourage them to do the things that they suggest.

Craft:
Give each student paper, markers, crayons, scissors and glue. Have them each make a Christmas card for the older people in your church or for residents of a nursing home. Then mail the cards or deliver them to the recipients.

Song:
Have the students choose a few Christmas songs to sing.
