Christmas in Luke: A Free Sentence Diagramming Challenge
This year, the Grammar Nerds Club Winter Challenge is back- with all-new content!
We’re going straight to the heart of Christmas by focusing on the birth of our Savior as recorded in the book of Luke. This free downloadable set includes 12 sentence diagramming cards based on Bible verses from Luke chapters 1 and 2.
Each card features:
-
A sentence inspired by Scripture
-
The original Bible verse listed on the card so students can follow along in God’s Word
-
A progression designed for easy to medium diagramming practice
In most cases, the sentences have been lightly paraphrased to make diagramming more accessible, especially for younger or newer students, while still preserving the meaning of the text.
This set is perfect for adding meaningful grammar practice to your Christmas school or for slowing down and savoring these familiar passages in a new way. Download the free set now!
Looking for an Extra Challenge?
If you have an advanced grammar student (or just love a good diagramming stretch), I’ve included two bonus sentences below.
These verses are taken directly from the ESV translation of Luke, with no paraphrasing. Diagramming straight from the Bible can be challenging- and these sentences rise to the occasion! At the same time, breaking down these well-known verses can be a true blessing. Studying their structure closely often deepens our understanding of what is being said and how beautifully it is expressed.
The first advanced sentence comes from Luke 1:31:
The second advanced sentence comes from Luke 2:16:
Want Answers?
The completed diagrams for both advanced sentences are provided below, so students can check their work, or you can walk through the structure together step by step.
My prayer is that this Christmas season will be a blessing to you and your family as you dig into God’s Word and celebrate the birth of our Savior.
Merry Christmas from Grammar Nerds Club!
