A Different Way to Tell the Christmas Story
Try sharing the Christmas story from Luke 2 in a different way. Perhaps a pass-it-sequence story telling time or from the point of view of personified characters of the story. A Hand-y Chart helps students use sensory processing to think about the story in terms of another viewpoint. What might the sheep have smelled, tasted, seen, heard? What if the manger told the story? Or a little snake that was hiding in the rocks of the stable cave? It's something different to try.
