Advent of Connection
Age Group: Any Age
Time: 5-10 minutes per day through December
Difficulty: Easy
What You Need
● A simple countdown calendar or printable (or check this one out to make your own together)
● A list of small daily activities (a phone call, a drawing to send, a shared photo, a favourite carol)
How To
1. Instead of a chocolate or gift each day, write a tiny connection activity for each date.
2. Keep them small - a video call, a drawn picture to send, a shared favourite song.
3. Work through the calendar together across December, in person or from a distance.
4. Let the small daily habit build anticipation for Christmas itself.
♥ This works beautifully for long-distance grandchildren too — connection doesn't need to be in person to count.
