Our church’s Sunday night’s “Kids Klass” recently embarked on a journey through the events leading up to the Birth of Christ using the Birth of Jesus Bible Study by Grapevine Studies. Because our class consists of about 10-15 children ages 2 through 10 (and we are also preparing for a Christmas program during this time), we were in need of a simple study like this one!
The Birth of Jesus Bible Study contains five lessons, each taking about 15 minutes to complete. Our students are memorizing a Bible passage for each lesson, which will allow them to recite scriptures to recount the events leading up to the Birth of Christ.
Benefits of using Grapevine Studies in a church or classroom setting:
- It’s designed to be used with any version of the Bible.
- Churches receive a 20% discount.
- It’s easy to prepare: Once you have printed books for an entire class, there is little time needed for preparation. The books are open-and-go.
- Substitute teachers are able to proceed with lessons with very little preparation.
Any drawbacks or other reality we would like to share? Well… when you’re wrangling two- and three-year-olds in a classroom setting, the stick figures may look more like massive scribbles, and occasionally a very young child might have a meltdown because he can’t get his picture to look just right… It has been interesting to see the difference between me leading my family in these Bible studies vs. me leading a classroom of children in these Bible studies. But the end result is: the children are memorizing scriptures and remembering the details of the account of the birth of Jesus!
The teacher’s guide contains the scripture references, drawings, and descriptions, as shown below.
The student traceable version makes it easier for younger students to keep up with rest of the class:
Traceables – Ages 3-5: Come in both the Beginner and Multi-Level studies.
Beginner – Ages 5-7
Multi-Level – Ages 7 and Up
