Nativity Reading & Sequencing Worksheets | The First Christmas

Explore the Nativity story through reading, discussion and hands-on sequencing. This illustrated Christmas resource helps children follow eight key events, read with support and retell the story in their own words.

Read together using the large illustrated panels, then cut out the shorter story cards, mix them up and put them back in order. Children can glue the cards onto the matching sequencing page or use the included folding guide to make their own Christmas storybook.

Included in this 10-page landscape PDF:

• Colour cover, terms of use and teacher notes

• Four large reading pages with two illustrated scenes per page and fuller story text

• Eight shorter illustrated reading cards for supported sequencing

• A numbered paste-in page with matching card-sized boxes

• An illustrated make-a-book guide and a link to a book-making video

Suggested ages: 5–9, with support matched to each child. Useful for Christmas RE lessons, guided reading, speaking and listening, story sequencing and oral retelling.

Original illustrations by Andie’s Art for Teaching. Student activity pages are black and white for easy printing. Print on A4 landscape paper at 100% / actual size so the cards fit the sequencing page.

This familiar Nativity retelling brings together events from the Christmas story. Teacher notes explain the traditional details and offer ways to support and extend learning.
