How to Share the Countdown With Families
Download and print the Advent Countdown Paper Chain for the families in your ministry. Encourage them to cut apart the paper strips along the dotted lines and form them into a paper chain—one loop for each day leading up to Christmas. They can hang the chain somewhere special at home—by the kitchen table, on the Christmas tree, or in a hallway.
Each day, families can remove one loop, read the verse or prompt together, and enjoy a meaningful activity that helps them focus on Jesus. Missed a day? That’s okay! They can simply catch up or combine a few links to keep the countdown moving.
Download and share this easy, faith-building activity that helps families unwrap the true meaning of Christmas—one day, one link, one joyful moment at a time.
