Joy to The World | Sunday School Solutions

by Aubrey Kyle

Well guys, it’s getting to be that time of year again—Christmas time! Have you planned how you’ll celebrate with the kids in your Sunday school class? Let’s think through how you can help the children get into the Christmas spirit and learn about the true reason for the season.

Songs

A great way for anyone, including children, to learn is through music. There’s something about hearing the music and singing the words that just gets it stuck in your head. You can help children remember biblical, Christmas truths by incorporating children’s Christmas songs into your Sunday school class.

CEF Press® offers many great Christmas songs and visuals that are perfect for teaching the children in your Sunday school class. “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is a song many children will be familiar with, and this version has a fun new verse that specifically ties the Gospel into Christmas! “Joy to the World” is another song Child Evangelism Fellowship® has revised to include the Gospel message in an easy way for children to understand. These are just a few of the fun Christmas songs you can include in your Sunday School class when celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Lessons

Whether it’s during a song, game, or another fun activity, you can include important truths from God’s Word throughout your Sunday school class time. However, the most logical place for your main Bible teaching to occur is in a Bible lesson! There are many ways a Bible lesson can be fun, interactive, and exciting for the children you teach, without compromising the Gospel message. CEF® makes this even easier for teachers by providing Party Club kits you can use with your kids this Christmas!

Not only does CEF offer an internationally themed Christmas lesson for teaching children, but other Christmas, Party Club kits as well! For an exciting retelling of the traditional nativity story, check out the God Keeps His Promises! Party Club kit. This lesson tells of Gabriel’s visits to Mary and Joseph, and goes onto Bethlehem to finish with Jesus’ birth. In addition to this lesson, the God Keeps His Promises! Party Club kit also includes additional resources you can use to make your Sunday school class even more fun!

Speaking of fun, the Backwards Birthday Bash Party Club kit is another great tool you can use to help teach your Sunday school class about Jesus! This lesson ties in both presents and Jesus’ birthday, teaching children that Jesus is the greatest gift of all.

These songs and lessons are only a few of the Christmas resources available at CEF Press to help you share about the Savior to the children in your Sunday school class.

Have fun this Christmas season as you teach children about the greatest gift of all time—God giving His Son to save the world from sin!
