Finding Christmas 5-Week Children's Ministry Christmas Curriculum

We Fish You a Merry Christmas!   

The sea is filled will awesome creatures great and small. These creatures remind us of the Christmas story and the greatest gift of all, Jesus.  Kids will learn that to find what Christmas is really about you can’t just look at the mall or inside the presents under the tree, but instead, you have to look for Jesus.

Finding Christmas Lessons Overview:

Memory Verse:

“She is going to have a son. You must give him the name Jesus. That's because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 NIRV

Lessons:

Angelfish – These beautiful fish remind us of the angel who told Mary that her son Jesus would be the Savior of the world. Kids will learn the good news that Jesus came to be our Savior. Luke 1:26-38

Starfish – These five-pointed sea creatures remind us of the star that led the Wise Men to Jesus. Kids will learn that God wants to lead us to Jesus too. Matthew 2:1-12

Sharks – Sharks remind us of King Herod who completely missed what Christmas was about. He could have gone to worship Jesus too, but instead he tried to kill Jesus to keep him from becoming king. Kids will learn that Jesus is our one and only true King and nothing and no one is greater than Jesus. Matthew 2:13-16

We Fish You a Merry Christmas – The sea is filled with all kinds of creatures great and small. Kids will learn that people are all different, but Jesus came for all of us and loves everyone the same. Luke 2:1-20

Sea Shells – If you put an empty shell up to your ear you can hear the sounds of the ocean. Let's start the New Year right, by filling the ears of our friends and families with the good news about Jesus. Matthew 28:18-20 The Great Commission

Each Lesson Includes:

• Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
• Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!" 
• Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
• Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
• Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
• Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
• Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
