Advent Calendar

I have done this activity with my class over the past few years in the lead up to the holidays.

Usually I do it as a whole class activity where the children each contribute to a day on the calendar. If you have more/less students, you can compile a large list together and then select your favourite ones to add to each date on the calendar. Each year the children really surprise me with some great ideas!

Each evening, the children try to complete one of the tasks and they colour each one as they complete it.


Some ideas that my students have come up with over the years include:


  • No electronics for the evening
  • Write a card to a relative
  • Empty the dishwasher
  • Spend 20 minutes reading
  • Make mum/dad a cup of tea
  • Do some exercise
  • Pay a compliment to someone 
  • Make a Christmas card for a classmate
  • Clean your room
  • Play a board game
