Light Up Christmas

SU Scotland has partnered with SU Ireland to create an exciting free RME digital resource, comprising professionally produced videos and a downloadable resource pack. ‘Light up Christmas’ has been written in line with the Curriculum for Excellence to help children in P6 & P7 understand what Christians believe about Christmas. Originally written in 2020, there are updated materials now included in 2021’s ‘Light Up Christmas’.

Through a series of cross-curricular activities, children can take a fresh look at Christmas in a fun and dynamic way. The downloadable resource pack provides everything needed to run a ninety-minute programme, which can be delivered as one lesson or split into three parts. The programme is based around a series of three videos, with supporting activities, including quizzes, crafts and group work.

It can be delivered by the teacher with minimal preparation (printing two activity sheets) and all the links to Experiences and Outcomes documented.
