Here’s a fun and simple twist on the typical Advent calendar that encourages a daily habit of prayer and scripture reading from December 1 to December 25! This Christmas Countdown Scripture Scratch-Off makes it easy and fun for kids and families to explore the Christmas story and the birth of our Savior.
It’s simple and easy to use: Beginning December 1 and going through Christmas Day, kids use a coin to scratch off one ornament a day. They’ll read the Scripture in each day’s ornament and use the prayer prompt to guide a moment of short, focused prayer. That’s it!
It’s simple and easy for you to prep it too! Just print it, add scratch-off stickers (details and Amazon links provided in the leader guide), and share!
This resource comes with 25 days of scripture and prayer prompts focused on the birth of Jesus and His role in our lives.
My prayer is that this Christmas Countdown Scripture Scratch-Off gives your kids a fun and exciting way to count down to Christmas Day, keeping God, His Son, and His Word as the focus of this special season.
