Family Activity Pack Come Along Christmas

Families who are enjoying the Advent calendar and want to dive a bit deeper into the Christmas story will love our downloadable activity pack. It offers something for everyone, with simple ideas for imaginative play, a craft and a chance to act out part of the story. It’s even got links to Christmas music and toddler-friendly videos! The pack can be accessed using the QR code on the Advent calendar, and each week’s activities link to the calendar’s story.

The Whole Story Family Daily Devotional

You want more of the Christmas story? You’ve come to the right place! Just like the Advent calendar, these simple daily readings and activities are designed for under 5’s. The Bible verses go with each day’s sticker and tell a bit more of the story. We have quoted from the International Children’s Bible but you can use any version you have at home if you prefer. Read the verse(s) for each day to your child and then put them into everyday language that they can understand. Use the activities to help your child to grasp a little more of what is happening in each part of the story.
You can purchase the Come Along, Christmas advent calendar from thegoodbook.co.uk here.

A Girl Called Mary

Is Christmas starting? When does it start in your house? How do you know? Ed and Jam talk about when they know Christmas is coming in their homes. Plus fun facts about a very ordinary woman (and how to grow taller by going into space) – and although Mary was ordinary, some extraordinary things happened.

A Young Man Called Joseph

Christmas is coming, but you might be so excited, there are tears before bedtime. What’s the normal cause of those tears? In our Christmas story, Joseph was going to bed knowing that his fiancee was going to have a baby – and it was all going wrong. But a visitor in the night, changed everything!

Simple Shepherds

Ed’s favourite bit of the story is the shepherds. And here they are, in all their ordinary glory on a hill in the dark. When were you last in the dark? There’s a place near Jam that is VERY dark indeed. But that dark hillside was lit up by something very glorious!

Wonderful Wisemen

In the last in the Come Along Christmas series, Ed and Jam are back with the story of the wonderful wisemen who follow wherever the star leads, all the way to Jesus. They have gifts to bring – but where do we find gifts? Under the tree, and Jam has some fun facts about ordinary Christmas trees and one truly gigantic one.
