Christmas, Good Tidings of Great Joy

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 52 | December 16 - December 22

We look forward to the Christmas lesson all year and now it’s here!

Begin the lesson by reading the openings paragraphs on page 194 of the manual. Read or summarize the story of Christ’s birth from Matthew and Luke. Study the picture in the manual and imagine what it was like when Christ was born. 

As you read the Christmas story you can let each family member hang up a piece of the nativity scene on the wall. As you hang up each piece sing the Christmas song that is listed on it. You can laminate the pieces ahead of time to make them more durable.

Older children can do the Mystery Scripture Story to mark the Christmas story in their scriptures. 

Also included in your lesson bundle is a Christmas coloring page.

Display the Good Tiding of Great Joy print in your home this holiday season.

There are more ideas in the manual on page 196 to include in your studying this week. Prayerfully choose some that will bless your family. We encourage you to spend time with your loved ones and focus on the reason for the season.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way.

As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”

The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
