Bring the whole family together with this selection of all-age Advent devotionals designed to engage even the littlest ones as you celebrate the run up to Christmas.
Featuring Bible readings, reflections, questions and fun activities to do together.
Between nativity plays, school end-of-term chaos, and Christmas shopping, finding quiet time with children in December can feel overwhelming. Family Advent devotionals are designed to bridge that gap. Rather than asking busy families to manage lengthy Bible studies, these resources offer short, interactive, and engaging ways to gather around God’s Word each day, keeping Christ at the centre of your Christmas traditions.
Every family is structured differently, and so are our devotionals. Here is a quick guide to help you find an approach that fits your children's ages and attention spans:
Why not pair your family devotion time with a Christmas craft that you can do together - we have plenty to choose from HERE.
How long should a family Advent devotional take each day?
Most family devotionals are designed to take between 5 and 15 minutes. The goal is consistency and warmth rather than an exhaustive study. Even five minutes over dinner or before bed helps anchor the day in Scripture.
How do we handle family devotions with kids of different ages?
Look for "all-age" devotionals that provide tiered questions. These books typically provide a single core Bible reading followed by separate discussion prompts for pre-schoolers, primary-aged children, and teens (as seen in resources from Faith in Kids). Younger children can also engage through colouring or holding visual props while older siblings read the passage aloud.
What is a Jesse Tree devotional, and is it suitable for young children?
A Jesse Tree walks through the genealogy and Old Testament promises pointing to Jesus, from creation to the manger. Each day pairs a short reading with a visual ornament placed on a branch or tree. It is one of the most effective, hands-on ways for young children to understand that the Christmas story begins long before Bethlehem. Check out new release The Advent Jesse Tree if you want to discover more.
What happens if our family misses a few days in December?
Advent devotions should never become an obligation nor are they designed to make you feel guilty if you don’t manage a daily get together. If you fall behind, simply pick up on the current date, summarize the missed days in a few sentences, or double up on readings during a lazy weekend morning.
When should I order our family Advent book?
Because most family devotionals run from December 1st through Christmas Day, ordering by early to mid-November ensures your book arrives with plenty of time to look through any required materials, craft supplies, or daily routines.
