Who doesn’t love flip books? They’re so flippy floppy, how can you say no to that?  In all seriousness though, if you are looking for a simple, yet meaningful Christmas activity to do, I’ve got you covered.  The best part is, it doesn’t just have to be for school!  Whether you’re celebrating Christmas with your students, teaching the Christmas story in Sunday school, or even doing a craft at home with your own kids, this flip book is for you. 

The Christmas story comes alive in an engaging flip book, that has two designs, a full color option, or a black and white design that enables any child (or adult) to color in each illustration.  Each flap has a Bible Scripture or short summary of a part of the Christmas story, retold in kid-friendly language that doesn’t miss the depth and importance of the message.  The flip book comes together easily as each flap is cut out and assembled in sequence, then it is stapled at the top.  Once it is assembled, it can be used in numerous ways:

  • In your private school classroom/ homeschool:

    • Assign pairs or small teams of students to each read a different flap and discuss it together.  

    • You can even extend it and have each team act out their portion or present it to the class in a creative way, using art to recreate their section of the Christmas story.

    • Or you may simply want to have different students take turns reading through the flaps as the class follows along.

  • In Sunday School:

    • Have each child decorate and color the pages of their own flip book and assemble it together.

    • Read the Christmas story from the Bible and then have kids read it in the flip book and compare and contrast the tellings.

    • Read the flip book aloud to your class. 

Another great bonus to this Christmas Flip Book is that the kids will take it home, and it provides a great opportunity for them to share the Christmas story with their family!
