St. Nicholas Legends

Are your students familiar with the Legends of St. Nicholas? St. Nicholas day is celebrated world-wide on December 6th and it is a great time to take the opportunity to share how tradition teaches us this saint turns santa! 

This resource contains a Google Slide presentation (link to make a copy) giving an overview of the life of Saint Nicholas, as well as the legends surrounding his life and how they lead to the celebration of St. Nicholas Day and the evolution of St. Nicholas into Santa Claus.

If you prefer you can show the teaching video in which Rachel Reindeer narrates the presentation for you!  

There are also companion notes (answer key included!) for learners to follow along and take notes - or you can use them as a quiz, or BOTH!

This resource is religious in nature, please be sure you preview it to be sure it is appropriate for the audience you intend to use it with.

After exploring the life of St. Nicholas there is a paper plate craft in which you make St. Nicholas. You have both Color and Color your own options. They can be made with or without paper plates for support.

Be sure to check out the other saints available, and if you have a special request, we'd love to hear from you!

May your Educational Journey Be Blessed!
