Why do Christians have advent calendars?

Lesson: Religious education

Class: Early Years Year: 2020 - 2021

Today we retold the story of the first Christmas to check that we remembered it from last week! We used puppets to help us.

Then we talked about why Christians use advent calendars to count down to Christmas Day – to celebrate Jesus’ birthday.

We made our own advent calendar by drawing pictures from the nativity story and things that people do to celebrate Christmas. We used our phonics and finger spaces to write a sentence with our picture and wrote a number between 1 and 24 on the front.

At the end of the day we ordered the numbers and said that people would be getting more excited the nearer to the 24th it gets!
