Have fun helping kids focus on the true reason for the season with a Christmas Countdown chain! There is a verse to read every day from December 1st through Christmas Eve.
What you will need:
- Red and green paper (copy paper is best)
- Cardstock, white
- Computer or markers
- Scissors
- Scripture verses (provided)
- Tape
Put it together:
Print the scripture references on green and red paper using your computer or hand write them with markers.
