Christmas is coming…
I had my first exposure of Coca Cola’s Christmas advert on TV last night, which, by the looks of various Twitter comments, seems to be a real sign that Christmas is on its way! We’re starting to think about advent assemblies, Christmas assemblies and other ways that we can engage students in schools in exploring the story of Christmas in meaningful ways. Soon there will be new Christmas resources available for 2009 here on the site, but in the meantime, we want to get some discussion going here on the site and point out a couple of resources we really like.
What are you planning on doing in your schools this Christmas? Advent assemblies, Christmas productions, services, lessons around advent? It would be really good to hear stories from different areas of school life and we invite you to contribute and comment on this post to let us know and inspire us to think about different ways of exploring Christmas in school this year.
One brilliant thing we came across last year were the radio ads from churchads.net. This year they’ve added a few more and these might fit really well in an assembly or an introduction to a lesson. They’ve made the Christmas story into a thirty second radio sequence which is effective and fun to listen to. You can choose from: Chart rundown; Police chase; Horse race or Football match. Have a listen here.
What Christmas links have you come across? (we’ll compile a longer list soon to give you quicker access to a range of resources).
