If you're considering telling the Christmas or Nativity story to your class, you don't just have to use a book anymore, although obviously children need to regularly hear those read too. There are a good selection of free Christmas story resources available to use online, so have a look and see which one best suits the age group you are targeting or tells the story in the way you prefer.

Topmarks have a fairly wordy version that will suit older KS1 and KS2 children which has fairly traditional pictures, although these could do with being larger. REonline have a simpler version with childrens' drawings used for illustrations, and comes with sound and would be perfect for KS1 or even Reception children.

Ngfl have a great selection of resources attached to their Christmas story, which can also be used with sound, aimed at KS1, which include Arrange the story, Pairs Games, Question Games, a jigsaw and Think and Discuss activities. You could use this story version which tells the story in simple sections to which you can click and drag pictures and add your own text, which would be great for children to do independently on a PC. For older KS2 children try this Bible story with pictures from book of Luke or try this version telling the story with lots of different Bible verses with simple illustrations.

If you don't have a quality internet connection in the classroom download this colourfully illustrated powerpoint which you can find by scrolling down the page.
