40 Free Printable Christian Christmas Worksheets for Kids
These free printable Christian Christmas worksheets give kids 40 pages of Nativity puzzles, Bible story activities, drawing prompts, prayers, and little acts of kindness to explore. There are simple picture activities to enjoy together and more thoughtful writing pages for children who are ready for them.
I love a Christmas activity that makes space for a good conversation as well as a bit of coloring. You might hear what your child would give baby Jesus, who they want to pray for, or how they could show kindness to a friend. Those little answers can be such a lovely part of sitting down together.
Choose a few favorites for a quiet afternoon, a Christian homeschool lesson, or a Christmas Sunday school session. You can mix and match the pages to suit the children joining in.
What’s Included in the Free Christian Christmas Worksheets?
The collection contains 40 printable pages, including a kindness countdown spread across two sheets. You’ll find story sequencing, character passports, picture matching, tracing, counting, creative drawing, and prayer prompts.
Christmas Bible Story Worksheets
These pages give children different ways to explore the people and events in the Christmas story. Read together first, then choose a drawing, sequencing, or writing activity to match their confidence.
1. The Christmas Story Trail
Five little pictures belong along this winding trail. Kids cut them out and arrange them in story order, from Mary to the wise men. Talk through each picture before reaching for the glue.
2. The Angel Visits Mary
What might Mary have felt when the angel arrived? Children draw her expression, finish the message about her baby, and add their own thoughts. It is a gentle way to talk about a very big moment in the Christmas story.
3. Christmas Story Sequencing Cards
Color and cut out the five illustrated cards, then put the Christmas story in order. The larger scenes give children plenty to point to while they tell you what happened next.
4. The First Christmas Timeline
Six picture prompts help children retell the story in their own words. There is room beneath each scene for a short sentence, making this a useful choice for kids who are ready for a little more writing.
5. Bible Character Passports
Meet Mary, Joseph, a shepherd, and a wise man through four character cards. Children write where each person was, what happened, and what they did. Keep a Bible nearby and let finding the answers become part of the activity.
6. The Christmas Story: True or False?
Did the shepherds watch camels? Did the wise men bring toys? Eight statements invite children to spot the true details and the silly mix-ups. Ask them to explain one answer after they have circled it.
7. The Family Line of Jesus
Trace the names Abraham, David, and Jesus while following the dotted family line. The page explains that these are three names from a much longer family history, with many generations between them.
8. Prophecy to Promise Match
Children connect four Old Testament prophecy prompts with the matching Christmas story events. This is one to explore together, especially when words such as prophecy and promise are still new.
9. The Angel’s Good News
Finish the angel’s message, then draw the angel appearing to the shepherds. The roomy sky leaves plenty of space for children to imagine the scene and add their own details.
10. The Shepherds Hear the Good News
Read Luke 2:8–20 together, then circle one picture in each row. Children choose what the shepherds saw, what they heard, and what they did next, so they can respond without writing long answers.
11. The Savior Has Been Born
Cut out the eight word tiles and arrange them to build the verse from Luke 2:11. Read the completed sentence aloud before gluing the pieces into their numbered spaces.
Nativity Games and Christmas Activity Sheets
A little puzzle time can be a lovely starting point for talking about the Nativity. This section includes matching, counting, decoding, a word search, and a blessing bingo board.
12. Angel Message Decoder: Jesus Is Born
Stars, hearts, bells, and other pictures each stand for a letter. Children use the key to uncover “Jesus is born,” then write the whole message on the line below.
13. Angel Message Decoder: Glory to God
Try a second secret message with a different picture key. This version spells “Glory to God” and includes a Bethlehem scene to color once the code has been cracked.
14. Christmas Bible Word Search
Find twelve words, including Jesus, Mary, Bethlehem, shepherd, joy, and peace. The words run across the grid, making this a friendly starting puzzle for children learning to scan a word search.
15. The Manger Match Game
Draw lines to connect Mary, a shepherd, an angel, and a wise man with their related pictures. Talk about why each pair belongs together, then color the characters.
16. Nativity Matching Pairs
This second matching page uses round character portraits and a different picture arrangement. Kids connect the angel to the message, the shepherd to the sheep, the wise man to the gift, and Mary to baby Jesus.
17. Nativity I Spy
Look closely at the busy Nativity scene and count the stars, sheep, angels, camels, gifts, and stable. Children can write each total in its box and color the picture when they finish.
18. Nativity Star Search
How many little stars can your child spot? Search around the Nativity scene, record the total, and color the large Star of Bethlehem. Remind little counters to look around the animals and buildings too.
19. Christmas Blessing Bingo
Call out words such as joy, prayer, love, and peace while children mark one matching square each time. The board includes repeated pictures; choose just one matching square per call and aim for four in a row.
Christmas Drawing, Coloring, and Tracing Pages
These open-ended pages leave room for children’s own ideas. Choose a big drawing space for a relaxed activity or a tracing page for a little pencil practice.
20. Bethlehem Travel Map
Follow Mary and Joseph’s winding journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Children can decorate the route with clouds, trees, animals, and stars, turning the simple path into their own illustrated journey.
21. The First Christmas Night Sky
Fill the open sky above Bethlehem with stars, then trace the words at the bottom. Big stars, tiny stars, and a sky full of swirls can all find a place on this roomy drawing page.
22. A Birthday Card for Jesus
Draw a birthday picture, write a message to Jesus, and finish with a short prayer. Children who are not writing yet can tell an adult what they would like their message to say.
23. Joy to the World Snow Globe
A big empty snow globe is waiting for a Nativity scene. Kids can draw baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, or a shining star inside, then decorate the base to make it their own.
24. Hope in a Manger
Decorate the manger with stars and straw, then draw hopes for the coming year inside. The writing line underneath gives children somewhere to name one hope they would like to share.
25. Star of Bethlehem
Color the large star and its five words: hope, peace, joy, love, and faith. You could choose a different color for each word and chat about what one of them means to your child.
26. The Wise Men’s Gift Shop
What special gift would your child design for baby Jesus? Draw it inside the shop window, give it a name, and explain the choice underneath. There is plenty of room for a thoughtful or wonderfully imaginative answer.
27. Jesus Is the Gift
Color the oversized present and its “Jesus is the greatest gift” tag. The question underneath invites children to write about what Jesus’ love means to them.
28. Peace on Earth
Color the big “Peace on Earth” letters and trace the dotted words underneath. Angels and stars frame the message, giving little hands a mix of coloring and handwriting practice.
29. Christmas Bible Verse Tracing
Trace “For unto us a child is born” above a small Nativity scene. Read the words together first, then let children take their time following the dotted letters and coloring the picture.
Christmas Prayer, Kindness, and Gratitude Worksheets
I love having a few pages that make room for children’s own thoughts. These activities turn big ideas such as love, gratitude, and kindness into something they can draw, write, or try that day.
30. Christmas Kindness Countdown: Days 1–12
Start the countdown with small acts of love, such as saying thank you, sharing a toy, and praying for a friend. Children color a star after completing each act of kindness.
31. Christmas Kindness Countdown: Days 13–25
Continue with ideas such as writing a kind note, thanking a teacher, and helping without being asked. The final day invites children to thank God for Jesus. Keep both countdown sheets together for the full set.
32. Count the Blessings
Fill the Christmas tree’s ornaments with things to thank God for. Kids can write words, draw little pictures, or use a mixture of both. Everyday blessings belong here just as much as big exciting ones.
33. God’s Love Christmas Tree
Each of the six large ornaments has space for one way to show God’s love. Help children think of specific actions, such as inviting someone to play or helping tidy a shared space.
34. Christmas Kindness for Jesus
Color and cut out five kindness cards, then choose a little mission. Helping someone, sharing a toy, saying thank you, giving a compliment, and praying for someone are all included.
35. My Christmas Prayer
Three gentle sentence starters help children thank God, ask for help, and think about showing His love. There is no need for fancy wording—a few honest words are a lovely place to begin.
36. Christmas Prayer Puzzle
Write a prayer in each of the four puzzle pieces: thank You God, please help, I’m sorry, and please bless. You can work through one section at a time if a whole page feels like a lot.
37. God’s Christmas Light
Draw ways to show God’s love at home, at school, and with friends. The three broad beams beneath the smiling star help children connect kindness with familiar parts of their day.
38. A Christmas Heart Full of Love
Fill the heart with people you love, kind things you can do, and your prayers. This makes a thoughtful choice for children who enjoy choosing their own pictures and words.
39. Shine Your Light Christmas Lantern
Design the lantern and add ways to shine at home, at school, and at church. The three panels can hold little drawings or short ideas that children would like to put into practice.
40. The Shepherd’s Thank-You Journal
Imagine the shepherds’ visit, draw a picture, and finish the gratitude and prayer prompts. It is a sweet way to follow a Christmas story reading with a moment of reflection.

Two Christian Christmas Craft Ideas to Try
Make a Nativity Story Accordion Book
You’ll need: the Christmas Story Sequencing Cards page, crayons, scissors, glue, and a long strip of cardstock or two strips taped together.
- Color the five story pictures and cut them out with adult help as needed.
- Fold the cardstock back and forth into five panels large enough to hold the pictures.
- Arrange the scenes in order: the angel visits Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, Jesus is born, the shepherds visit, and the wise men follow the star.
- Glue one picture onto each panel and let your child add a few words beneath it.
- Fold the little book closed, then open it one panel at a time as your child retells the story.
Add a separate paper cover with your child’s name and the year for a simple Christmas keepsake.
Create a Christmas Kindness Pocket
You’ll need: the Christmas Kindness for Jesus cards, an envelope, a piece of cardstock, crayons, scissors, and glue.
- Color and cut out the five kindness cards.
- Glue the back of the envelope onto the cardstock, leaving its opening free.
- Decorate the cardstock with a Christmas tree, stars, or the words “Little Acts of Love.”
- Pop the cards into the envelope and choose one to try together.
- Afterward, draw or write what happened on the back of the card. Return it to the pocket or keep completed cards in a second envelope.
You can add your own homemade cards as children think of more ways to help. Small, achievable ideas make it easy to keep going.
I hope these pages give you a few easy ways to slow down and share the Christmas story with your little ones. A thoughtful answer, a colorful star, or one small act of kindness is plenty to start with.
Pick the page that catches your child’s eye, bring out the crayons, and enjoy a little time together. And if they would like to keep coloring afterward, the gratitude coloring pages are ready for another quiet moment.
Christian Christmas Worksheets FAQ
A few helpful answers before you bring out the crayons and choose your first Christmas activity!
Are these Christian Christmas worksheets free?
Yes! All 40 printable pages in this collection are free to download and print. Choose one for a quiet activity or pick a few different pages to enjoy together.
How do I print these pages?
Choose a worksheet and click its download button beneath the preview. Open the downloaded file, select your paper size, and choose “Fit to page” or “Fit to printable area” in your printer settings.
Check the print preview to make sure the whole page fits inside the margins. Regular white paper works well for most activities. For cutout cards, you can use cardstock if your printer supports it.
All the designs are black and white, so there is no need for colored ink.
What ages are these Christmas activity sheets suitable for?
There is a mixture of activities, so you can choose what suits your child. Younger children can enjoy the coloring, large drawing spaces, and picture matching with a little help.
More confident readers and writers may enjoy the Bible story timeline, character passports, word search, and true-or-false questions. You can also read the prompts aloud and write down your child’s answers.
How can I use these for Christmas Sunday school?
Choose a short Bible reading and pair it with a related worksheet. For example, read about the shepherds and try The Shepherds Hear the Good News, or explore Mary’s part in the story with The Angel Visits Mary.
A matching game, prayer page, or drawing activity can follow if you have more time.
Are these all coloring pages?
Many of the pictures can be colored, but there is much more to try! The collection includes matching, counting, story sequencing, tracing, decoding, drawing, prayer writing, and kindness activities.
Mix a puzzle with a creative page, or let your child choose the activity that catches their eye.
How does the Christmas kindness countdown work?
The countdown covers days 1–25 across two sheets: days 1–12 on the first page and days 13–25 on the second. Children color a star after completing each little act of kindness.
You can follow it daily in December or choose a few ideas whenever they fit your family’s plans. There is no need to catch up if you miss a day!
How do we play Christmas Blessing Bingo?
Have an adult call out a word from the board, such as joy, prayer, love, or peace. Each player marks one matching square per call and aims to get four in a row.
Some pictures appear twice, so children should choose just one matching square each time. The collection includes one board design; players using the same board can choose different matching squares.
Do we need any special supplies?
For most pages, all you need is paper, a pencil, and crayons or colored pencils. The cut-and-paste activities also need scissors and glue, with adult help as needed.
Keep a Bible nearby for the story and verse activities, and enjoy working through the questions together.
