The Shepherds Visit Jesus

ABC's of Jesus' Life: V is for Visit From the Shepherds

These lessons can be used without the alphabet theme.

Just consider them an update with new ideas and printables to teach the Life of Jesus!

This foldable is in color and black and white. Print front to back and cut on the outside edge. Fold as shown on the top picture. Or, the bottom picture (which is the inside without any cut or fold lines) can be used as a picture by itself. I left it simple so the students can add more stars to both scenes and animals to the stable scene inside. Sheep stickers can be added to both scenes also.

 The first is a Reader Worksheet. The wording from the scripture is as easy to read as possible with sight words while keeping to the key points with easy to answer questions. The second is a fill-in-the-blank worksheet. Color and black & white are included for both. 

There is a Jesus in the manger and a sheep for the shepherds color-by-number-code, a heart puzzle for Jesus loves me (stickers can be added), and a Jesus in the manger dot-to-dot.

A heart maze and Jesus the King is Born maze and a Word Search are included. There is a teacher's answer sheet for the Word Search.

These Event Cards are in color. They can be used as smaller visuals and they can be shuffled for the student to re-tell the events and lay them in order. The visuals can be downloaded below.

There are alphabet mazes and worksheets included. These are half-sheets and can be used in Interactive Notebooks. Click here to see a free video on how to make and use Interactive Notebooks.  There is a letter V color by number and a set of 5 and 10 piece puzzles.

I designed the Trip Strip to be a cut & glue timeline. This one shown has lines for the students to write about each event. Or, they can write the scriptures. There is another worksheet without the writing space. These can easily be used for mixed age groups. Cut and glue according to directions. Click here to download.

These pages can also be cut apart and used as flash cards to put the events in order.

There is a one-page foldable book in color and black and white

 and can be downloaded here.
