25-Day Countdown to Christmas FREE Activity Booklet

This 25 page FREE Christmas Activity Booklet is a fun way to start the Christmas countdown with your kids. It can be tough for youngsters to wait all month for Christmas day, but you can give them one page a day to entertain your crew right up to the big day!

At Christmas time, we involve our kids in all our Christmas preparations. They help decorate, order gifts, bake, make cards, and wrap gifts. They love doing it and I love to see their eyes light up as they get in the holiday spirit.

This year I plan to give them these mini booklets to add to our festivities. Maybe your kids will enjoy them too. Grab some hot cocoa and crayons and try these fun games along with your children!

25-Day Countdown to Christmas Activity book

What is in the Christmas Activity Fun Book?

This fun mini-book of activities includes word searches, dot-to-dot, word scrambles, mazes, matching games, sorting games, Christmas tree decorating, guess the Christmas song, coloring pages, and more! These fun activities are the perfect holiday boredom buster!

One of my favorite things about this printable book is that the pictures are mostly black and white rather than colored. I did this on purpose because kids LOVE coloring! While problem-solving the puzzles and games on individual pages, they can color the pictures on the page as well.

These are the free Christmas activities included in the book.

Christmas Pictures Sorting Games– The challenge for this simple activity is to circle the pictures that represent Christmas. On the second page they have to circle the characters that were present at Jesus’ birth. Do turkeys and valentines belong with Christmas? Was Santa at Jesus’ birth?

Christmas Matching– What pictures go together? Kids will need to draw lines to match the Christmas pictures that belong together. (For example, snowman + carrot, wise man + camel, Santa Claus + sleigh, Christmas tree + ornament, candy canes + stocking, Mary + Jesus, stable + star, shepherd + sheep)

Christmas Mazes– Help Mary find baby Jesus through mazes shaped like a Christmas tree, a snowman, and an ornament. I think it would be fun for siblings to compete to see who can find the way the fastest!

Christmas Dot-to-Dot- Children can review number counting and practice fine motor skills by following the dots to make a picture.

Christmas Grid Picture Copy Game– This a fun game for older kids! The challenge is to copy the Christmas picture square by square to make a matching picture in the grid. The examples are a snowman, a stocking, and a gingerbread house.

Make Christmas Designs– Kids will decorate a Christmas ornament and tree. You can show them ideas from Pinterest or magazines or have them come up with their own.

Christmas Scramble– Unscramble the letters to make Christmas words.

Christmas Word Search– Can you find the Christmas words hidden in the puzzle?

Guess the Christmas Song– How well do you know the holiday jingles? Kids should carefully look at the pictures to guess the Christmas song.

Christmas Coloring Pages– What activity book is complete without coloring pages? Sprinkled throughout these printable worksheets, you will find some blank Christmas coloring pages. I think it would be fun to have a family coloring contest. Take pictures of the pages with your phone and send them to grandparents to be the judges.

What supplies are needed?

With all that we have to do for Christmas, keeping kids entertained shouldn’t take up a whole bunch of our time. That’s why these low-prep activities are perfect for busy moms!

You can print them out, staple them together or use a 3-ring hole punch to put them in a binder or folder. Then let kids get to work!

Supplies I use:

Printer paper
crayons, colored pencils, or markers
stapler or 3-ring hole punch
folder or notebook to keep the book in

You can print out the 25 pages and give one to your kids each day leading up to Christmas. This will keep them in suspense as they wait each day for the next challenge.

Another idea is to print the entire booklet out for each of your children and give it to them on December 1st. Some kids like to see a whole booklet to use as a “guide” for their Christmas celebration.

What age is the 25-Day Countdown to Christmas FREE Activity Booklet for?

Children of any age can enjoy the themed activities in the booklet. Even parents will have fun sitting beside children to play these festive brainteaser games.

The matching games, sorting games, dot-to-dot, and coloring pages are perfect for preschool and elementary-age kids.

Teens can get creative designing their own Christmas tree and ornament. Unscrambling and finding Christmas words in the word search will also challenge older kids. I think my teens will love guessing the Christmas songs best.
