Activities for Kids – Advent 1

Advent is a time of getting ready for Jesus’ birthday!

This year, the first Sunday of Advent is November 29th!

This Advent we will be talking about Jesus’ family  tree.  Can you make a family tree?  Here are three different family trees for you to choose from.

Color this picture of an advent wreath!

Here’s an Advent song to sing to the tune of “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”

Advent is a time to wait (hold hand up as you say “wait”)

Not quite time to celebrate, (shake head and wag finger from side to side)

Count the candles 1 by 1 (put 4 fingers up, 1 at a time)

Until Advent time is done (wave hands, palms down)

Day by day we work and play, (stack fist on top of fist over and over)

To get ready for Christmas day! (give yourself a hug!)

One more thing!

Color one circle every day – when you’re done it will be Christmas!
