Gospel Principles for Kids Lesson 11: The Life of Christ

The Life of Christ

This is a great lesson in the manual. Click here for the full lesson. However, I felt like one lesson to cover the life of Christ was not going to work for our family. I decided we'd do a timeline of the life of Christ. I found some great New Testament timeline cards on this website. There are 3 sets. Birth to Zacchaes, Holy Week, Empty Tomb to Ascension. If you click on them it will automatically download them. I also have them in a single email if you want to contact me with subject: New Testament Timeline Cards. It states these can be used for classroom or personal use.

Here is the website again for those who don't like links: http://catholicblogger1.blogspot.com/2009/11/birth-of-jesus-to-ascension-cards.html

I found a white roll of craft paper at walmart in the craft aisle that is like 3 'x 30' for $3 or $4 that we'll cut and put the pictures up on as we talk about the events in His life.  We'll also try to cover the topics put forward in the manual as we talk about His life.

I liked the artist depictions so also found this book on Amazon:

There is a companion volume entitled The Parables of Jesus for kids. 

So we're taking a break from the manual while we do this. Sorry for those who are following along. Hopefully we'll be back soon!
