Each of these 24 cards tells a part of the story of the first Christmas that took place over 2,000 years ago. The text is paraphrased from the first two chapters of Luke and Matthew in the Bible.

How to use

To use the cards for an Advent calendar, starting on the first day of December, display a new card each day, and follow the characters as they prepare for the birth of Baby Jesus.

The cards can also be used to decorate a Christmas tree (punch a hole near the top and add a ribbon to hang the card with), or they can be used to decorate the table for a Christmas meal.

By preparing the picture cards separately from the text cards, the cards can be used to play a game of matching each picture with the corresponding text.

There is a black-and-white version that can be used for a Christmas coloring activity.
