Christmas has so many fun themes to work use. I love the nativity story and we retell it every year and just love it I always enjoy doing something with it.<\/p>\n

This year we have enjoyed the themed word puzzle sets. These are an easy way to work in words with themes you know. Now I have added the nativity words. Puzzles are a great way to work on learning new words or working on spelling words that kids might have problems with.<\/p>\n

There are some nativity words that kids can work on. The nativity set has the following: Jesus, Mary, Joseph, star, angel, stable, shepherd, and wise men.<\/p>\n

This set includes a puzzles mat and a writing paper. That is so you can write your words and record them as well.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at how I set up the activity. I put the building mat in a sheet protector<\/a>\"\" but you can also laminate<\/a>\"\" it to make them last longer. I give them a pencil and dry eraser marker<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

Kids can build the words on the mat and write the word on the mat. The puzzles all fit into the rectangle on the page.<\/p>\n

After they have built their words they can write it below on the mat. We use the dry eraser marker<\/a>\"\" on the mats. The nativity set has some great work on having the first letter be capitalized. <\/p>\n

They can also record their words on the writing sheet. It is fun to have a record of the words that they make. They might also want to use the nativity writing paper<\/a> and write sentences about the words they have built.<\/p>\n
