Advent Lesson Plan Ideas
Explore the origins of the Advent season through stories about the Nativity and the birth of Jesus. Consider having children make an Advent calendar, using images from the Bible.
Have children make their own Advent wreaths, for a truly hands-on experience. The wreaths can be traditional, using evergreens and Advent candles, or the kids can enjoy coloring pages of the wreaths.
Incorporate the singing of Advent songs or hymns into your lesson plan. "O Come, O Come, Emannuel" is considered a traditional Advent song.SpiritHome.com: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany - Caroling
