Teach youngsters the true meaning of Christmas with this powerpoint presentation of The Nativity Story, set to rhyme to capture engagement and enjoyment as children learn and recap about the birth of Jesus. The story tells the story from the Angel Gabriel visiting Mary to King Herod’s evil orders and Mary and Joseph taking Jesus to safety.
As a primary school teacher, I loved to retell this story but found that youngsters often struggled with key information, which is why I chose to write it to rhyme, in order for children to become enthusiastic about it and retell it with a greater degree of accuracy and confidence. The story is accompanied by simple but colorful pictures to highlight key characters and places. There’s no prep needed for this resource but its simplicity offers valuable information from the nativity story to teach children about the meaning of Christmas.
There are 12 slides included in the powerpoint download, with additional features at the end of the story, such as a story map, a printable word mat, character sheet, questions and a Nativity word search, all of which will help to support learners when completing follow up activities. This is a unique version of the story and only available through the 123misspoppins stores.
This powerpoint compliments other products available in my store, such as the story as an A4 pdf book of the story and a reading center ‘clip the answer’ activity. These resources would be most suitable for K-2nd Grade or homeschooled learners.
The version of the Christmas Story included has been written by myself and is only to be used by the individual consumer. It’s not permitted to be shared or used as part of any other online commercial use.
Engage your learners in the true meaning of Christmas and share a fun version of the Christmas Story that they haven’t heard of before.
