Christmas Activity Book and Bible Study (Ages 8-12)

Do you want your kids to know more about Christmas than Santa Claus, presents, and Christmas trees? Are you looking for an effective and easy-to-understand resource to use at home or at church?

How is the book structured?

As readers learn about the true meaning of Christmas, they will use this fun and effective resource as a guide to:

• Read scripture from their own Bible,
• Answer questions about what they read,
• Learn to apply it to their own life, and
• Complete fun Christmas activities!

What activities are included?

This 8.5 x 11 book includes nearly 50 pages of study and activities such as:

• Bible study pages
• Mazes
• Codes
• Drawing
• Crosswords
• Word searches
• Coloring pages
• Word Scramble

• And more

What events are included in the readings?

• John's birth announced to Zacharias (Luke 1:1-25)
• Christ's birth announced to Mary (Luke 1:26-56)
• Birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:57-80)
• Jesus is born and angels appear to the shepherds (Luke 2:1-20)
• Simeon sees Jesus (Luke 2:21-35)
• Wise men go to Jesus (Matthew 1:18-25, 2:1-12)
• Flight into Egypt and home to Nazareth (Matthew 2:13-23)

What materials are required?

To complete the activities and bible study, you will need a Bible, a pencil, and crayons or colored pencils. (Markers are not recommended since they can bleed through the page.) Answers to the activities are provided in the back of the book.

Can this book be used with varying age ranges?

Absolutely! The reading level and activities were created for kids ages 8 to 12. Readers younger than this age range may need a little extra help. Readers older than this age range may find some (but not all) of the activities a little easy, but the message and the bible study portion will still be appropriate.

This book is a great resource to use at home as a family, in a small group (even with varying age ranges), or at church (as Sunday School lessons, for example). It would also make a great gift!

Can a child complete this book on their own?

This book is designed so that each section begins with reading specific verses in the Bible. If the child knows how to look up and read a scripture reference on their own (such as Luke 1:1-12), then the answer is yes! However, we recommend that an adult go through the book with the child to provide guidance and answer any questions they may have. It can be a great conversation starter!
