Advent Stories and Activities: Meeting Jesus Through the Jesse Tree

Excellent source for Advent for all ages. Jesse Tree connection is well explained. Received in excellent condition for use in our Religious Formation Program.

This book has 24 stories from the Bible. There are longer versions, abbrevated versions for young children, and references for where the stories can be found in the Bible. There are also stories set up to be done as skits in class. Each story has a small picture circle with a symbol from the story. It has suggestions for timelines, advent calendars, and notebooks. There is also directions for making medallions to hang on the Christmas tree. There are no Coloring or Activities sheets included in this except for the small circles. The ideas are very good. I am looking forward to using it in a Bible class setting throughout the year and having the kids make Jesse Trees to take home and review during the Advent season.
