Good Morning, friends! It's been a while since I've shared one of my Sunday school lessons. I think things are finally settling down around here.
Yesterday was the Ephinay. The day the three Wisemen visited baby Jesus. I always teach the little ones about the Ephinay the first class we have back after Christmas.
Before the kids arrived, I had the three Wisemen and their camel in the classroom. They belong to my kid's old Fisher Price Nativity set. As they find them, the kids add them to the Nativity I have set up in the classroom. This is a fun activity that makes the kids excited every year.
We read the story of the Nativity. I either use the kid's Bible or I read a storybook about the Nativity. One of my favorite books is The Little Golden Book The Christmas Story.
After our story, we talked about the three Wismen and the gifts that they bring. I have pictures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to share with the children.
We followed our lesson with a fun Nativity craft. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby, but here is a similar craft I saw online. They had fun recreating the scene. it's simple, easy, and can be done in a short period of time.
After our craft, we had story and snack time. While I read, The Last Straw, the kids snacked on popcorn and juice boxes. The Last Straw by Frederick Thury. The story is about an old camel who is backed to carry gifts for the newborn king. He's not happy about it, but as he walks the journey he starts to see a few amazing things.
We finished up class by working on our prayers. We are currently working on the Our Father.
