Printable Advent Calendar for Kids with Bible Verses – Family Faith
Looking for a meaningful way to count down to Christmas with your kids? Our printable advent calendar for kids with Bible verses combines daily scripture with simple activities to keep little ones engaged while focusing on the true reason for the season.
Why Choose a Bible Verse Advent Calendar?
A traditional advent calendar often focuses on treats or toys, but a Bible verse calendar shifts the emphasis to faith. Each day, your child opens a new door or pocket to reveal a short scripture that tells the Christmas story from prophecy to the manger. This builds anticipation and helps kids connect the holiday excitement with God’s love.
What’s Included in This Printable Set?
Our set includes 24 numbered cards, each featuring a kid-friendly Bible verse (from the NIV) and a simple activity like “Draw a star” or “Say a prayer for a friend.” You also get a cover page with a nativity scene to color, plus instructions for easy assembly. Just print, cut, and hang on a ribbon or place in pockets.
How to Use the Calendar with Your Family
Each evening, gather together and have your child open the day’s card. Read the verse aloud, discuss what it means, then do the suggested activity. You can also sing a related carol or add a piece to a paper nativity. This routine creates a cherished family tradition that reinforces faith and togetherness.
Tips for Making It Last Year After Year
Print the calendar on cardstock and laminate the cards for durability. Store them in a labeled envelope or box after Christmas. You can also punch holes and bind them with a ring. Each year, your kids will look forward to revisiting the familiar verses and activities, making it a lasting part of your holiday.
