The days leading to Christmas can be challenging for catechists and children. Catechists strive to retain order and routine in the midst of pageant rehearsals and the children’s excitement about treats, vacation, and presents. The following activities will help your students remember to keep Christ in mind as they look forward to Christmas:
- Seeds: Gifts for Baby Jesus
- Promise: A Christmas Crossword Puzzle
- Good News: A Christmas Puzzle
- Visions: Advent + Christmas = ?
- Family-Parents: A Christmas Novena
- Family-Parents: Prayer Service – Third Sunday of Advent
