The 12 Days of Christmas (2007)

Was the song “The 12 Days of Christmas” written as a hidden Christian catechism? Or was it simply a child’s memory game? This Bible time series uses this well-known song as a memory game for important truths about the Bible. Enjoy a song that is perfect for the TESOL classroom while planting deep spiritual truths in the hearts of your students – and pray that the Holy Spirit will unite those truths in their hearts with faith in the precious Lord Jesus!

This is a six-week Bible time, covering the first 6 days of Christmas. Day 4 and 5 are handled in one installment. There are two versions of Day 6, a shorter one, and a longer one.
