“A Wonderful Resource for Sunday School Teachers and Homeschoolers!”

Christmas is my most favorite time of the year and I am so looking forward to using this curriculum come December to teach my children the message of God’s promised King.

Based on the best-selling storybook, The Christmas Promise by Alison Mitchell, this three-session curriculum includes:

• A “Prepare Your Heart” section, helping you to enjoy and apply the truths yourself before you teach them to your child(ren) or class.
• A lesson plan for ages 3-5, 5-8, and 8-12.
• Free, downloadable PDFs containing the relevant Bible passages, questions, activity sheets, and resources for certain activities, games, and crafts.

This is such a great resource for both Sunday School teachers and homeschoolers, and I am excited to share it with my children’s church directors and fellow homeschool moms.

Thank you, The Good Book Company, for my copy of The Christmas Promise Sunday School Lessons in exchange for an honest review.

“Great Resource for a Bible-Centred Christmas Series”

We love using the children's books from the Good Book Company but haven't yet tried using them to teach in Sunday School. This excellent short book gives the necessary questions, activities, prayers and games to accompany the book and they're brilliant. A leader would want to read through the book before the session and choose what to use as each session is packed full of things (in the shorter sessions we have at our church, we could only get through about half of the content so cherry-picked bits to use in our context). We decided to also get some of the books to give away to families after the series so that children could read the story again at home, but that's just an extra!

“Beautiful Christmas Resource!”

We had the opportunity to review, The Christmas Promise: A Three-Session Curriculum with a Family Service Outline.
This 3 lessons series provides teaching material for Sunday School type lessons of children aged 3-12.

The three sessions offered are:
1. Session One: The Forever King
2. Session Two: The Rescuing King
3. Session Three: The New King
As well as a bonus Family Service titled: The Greatest King.

Each of the three sessions includes:
- a Prepare your Heart section
- A lesson plan for 3-5 year olds
- A lesson plan for 5-12 year olds
- Free downloadable PDF’s, which contain activity sheets, games, crafts, questions, and relevant Bible passages.

This lesson plan has everything you will need to teach your children.
I found the structure to be well laid out, and easily explained.
This resource can be used in a Sunday school setting, or adapted to be used in your homeschool setting.

I really enjoyed the variety of activities included in this curriculum plan.
Each lesson provides an opportunity for families and children to Pray, Read, Think, Play, Craft, Apply, Learn and so much more!

This beautiful curriculum will walk you through God’s promise of our Saviour in a fun and meaningful way.

“Great Christ-Centered Sunday School Resource with Age Adaptability”

This Sunday school curriculum is based on “The Christmas Promise” storybook, but it can also work as a standalone, exploring the same themes while digging deeper into Bible passages. Lizzie and Carl Laferton wrote this curriculum with age flexibility in mind, and each lesson plan includes suggestions for different age groups. Teachers can use this in a traditional age-based Sunday school environment, and could also adapt the lessons to address multiple ages at once in a children's church setting or a homeschool co-op. The book includes a code for free downloadable activities and other resources that people can adapt for their groups.

This curriculum includes detailed lesson plans for three sessions and a family service. The lessons focus on how Jesus is the perfect king who fulfills God's promises, and each lesson unpacks this at a different level, focusing on different prophecies from Isaiah and different parts of the Nativity story in Luke. The lesson plans are so detailed that someone can present the material exactly as it is written without needing to prep anything other than craft supplies, but the Lafertons also leave room for adaptation and improvisation. I like the flexibility, and I appreciate how the authors include multiple ideas for games and crafts that involve varying levels of complexity.

“The Christmas Promise Sunday School Lessons” is a great book for Sunday school teachers who are looking for an in-depth, Christ-centered resource that requires minimal planning and prep. My one significant critique is that because this book packs so much information into a relatively short page count, some of the pages seem a little cluttered, and it can be difficult to quickly find and reference something. Teachers can add post-it notes to help them find their way, but one possible improvement could be page headings to identify which session each page belongs to.

Note: I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
