Attention: English Teachers in China

There is a great story and activity booklet called "The First Christmas" available FREE to your English students. This would make a great teaching textbook or even just great for a Christmas gift for your students.

It has 9 bilingual, English and simplified Chinese text, stories about the birth of Jesus. Each story has 2 kinds of activities for each story. Activities include: unscramble the words, true and false, fill in the blanks, crosswords, cryptograph, find the words, draw a line, maze, color the picture, find the items ... The booklet has a glossy cover and of good quality. It is B5 size and has 19 pages.

It is most suitable for primary school classes and middle school ages. Although it has also been welcomed among kindergarten, high school and even university students.

The books are free for you to give to your students or even the whole school, and can be posted / couriered to you.

For more information contact [email protected]

For interested persons outside of China, we would like to send them freely to you but unfortunately the budget is already stretched. Nevertheless if you can pay postage and handling we can make them available to you.

A free gift for my students?
No thanks!
I teach hundreds of students here in China.
And I teach them about Christmas.
I teach them about Christmas trees, gift-giving, family meals, snowmen, Santa Claus...
I have never once mentioned Jesus and it has rarely come up.
In my secular version there is no Jesus.
So, I have no use for your "free gifts".

I don't teach in China, but, couldn't it be dangerous to teach about religion there? I majored in Russian, and one of the stories that we heard about was the military arresting Christians for worshiping. I wouldn't want that threat hanging over me just for teaching about a foreign holiday.
