Inspire your pupils to explore the Christmas story with three powerful images of Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus in a modern setting. Use these vibrant engaging images as a quick starter to a lesson, a group discussion or the main focus of a lesson. What if Jesus was born today? How would the story change? Explore why Christians believe God sent his son to be with ordinary people. Resources include Primary (KS2) and Secondary Lesson Ideas, a Modern Christmas Story Planning Sheet and Bible Verse cards. These resources are easily adapted: for a range of age groups, a simple and fun look at a Modern Christmas, or for exploring the Christmas story in depth.
