Ideas: • Print out a letter from Santa – your choose which border, male/female elf • Print out a letter from the Elf • Print out passport – need 10 country stamps, the last one for your country as his passport
is about to expire • Add dates to the passport for each country eg. 25 November 2002 or 25/11/2002 • Print out Elf Adventure Journal – There is an example on here. Also ones with lines and
dates and ones without. Take a photo of what your elf gets up to each day (or draw a picture) and write a short story about what they have been doing
• Print out Report Journal for Santa – There are ones with dates/lines and ones without. Write about each child’s behaviour that day in the journal each night when kids are asleep – as if the Elf is doing it. You may want to print out a journal for each child.
• When Elf arrives, they have a small backpack that contains: sleeping bag, passport, letter from elf, Elf Adventure Journal, Report Journal for Santa, Advent Calendar.
• Use ours or make your own calendar for Elf Activities • Have fun and enjoy

Stars for Treasure Hunt. Write on your
own clues.
I fell over and hurt myself, but God helped me to be brave.
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with
you wherever you go.”
Dear God, sometimes I get a little scared. Please help me to be
brave. Amen.
I love food and never forget to eat. I should also never forget
to pray. Romans 12:12
Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly
in prayer;
Dear God, just like I never forget to eat, please help me never to forget to pray. Amen.
I like treasure hunts and treasure, but we shouldn’t be greedy. We should be concentrating on filling our lives with God’s love instead of material objects.
Matthew 6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not
break in and steal.
Dear God, please help me to stop being greedy. Instead help me to fill my life with you and your love.
Amen.
I was going to say something, but stopped just in time. I realised that it was not a nice thing to say. We need to remember only to say nice things.
Proverbs 21:23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles.
Dear God, please help me think before I speak. I want to use my mouth to say words that are good and full of
encouragement. Amen.
© A Moment In Our World
Sorry I broke your toy. I was just playing with it. I didn’t mean to break it. Please forgive me.
Ephesians 4:32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ
forgave you.
Dear God, I get mad when people do something wrong to me, please help me to forgive them. Amen.
Look at the person in the mirror. They are imitating me. We should be imitators too. Imitators of God.
Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God as
dear children.
Dear God, I am so happy that I can imitate you, but it is very hard. Please help me to love
others, just like you so that I can become like you. Amen.
When you believe in God, He comes to live inside of you. We need to take care of our bodies - the temple in
which God lives. 1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of
God dwells in you?
Dear God, thank you for letting us believe in you. Please help us to take extra special care of our bodies - your
temple. Amen.
God gave us hands to use for many different things. We should use our
hands for good like playing the piano, helping people. Not bad things like
punching. Jeremiah 25:14
For many nations and great kings shall be served by them also; and I will
repay them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own
hands.’”
Dear God, thank you for making hands. Please help me to use them for good
and not for evil. Amen.

Many animals can hear sounds that we can’t. God can hear prayers that are said in the tiniest voice. You can pray to God anytime, anywhere and
He will always hear you. Psalm 66:19
But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my
prayer.
Dear God, thank you for listening to me. I know I can tell you anything and you hear every word I say.
Amen.
Tarsiers, the giant squid and many other animals have big eyes to help them see. God can see better than all animals and is always watching
over us. Psalm 33:18
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
Dear God, thank you for watching over me and keeping me safe. Amen.
As you can see I love myself but God loves me more. If God had
walls, He would put pictures of you everywhere. John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Dear God, thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I love
you too. Amen.
God wrote a book. It is the best book in the world. It helps you to know how to live and is an amazing book.
You should read it everyday. Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Dear God, thank you for writing a
book that helps teach me the right way to live. Please help me to remember to
read it everyday. Amen.

Yummy, yummy fruit and it’s good for you too. We should be good and act like Jesus so that others can see
how good He is.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Dear God, we love eating fruit that is good for us. Please help us to use the fruit of the Spirit and be examples to others around us. Amen.
.
Gingerbread people are the same colour as the dust that Adam was made from.
They can remind us of our God and how He created us all. Genesis 1:26-27
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Dear God, help me to remember that I am here because you created me and not to hurry through each day, but take time to spend in prayer with you. Amen. .
Candles are great for providing light and were used to decorate the Christmas Tree. Now we use Christmas lights instead. Both the candles and the lights help us find our way in the darkness. Jesus, our Saviour, is the Light of the World. He helps us find our way in this world and he also helps us to shine, so we can show others
the way to Him.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Dear God, thank you for being my light and please help me to shine might light and show others to way to you.Amen.
.
Just like the wise men followed the star to find Jesus, so we should
follow Jesus to receive the greatest treasure of all.
Matthew 2:1-2 (2:1-12) Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Dear God, thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, and that He died on the cross for our sins. That is the greatest
treasure of all. Amen.

Pride is not good. The people who were trying to build the Tower of Babel became full of pride. This does not make God happy. When you do this, you stop thinking about God and everything He does for us. We need God to help us, so don’t let pride get in the way.
Genesis 11:4-5
And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. Dear God, please help us to remember that we need you and not to let pride take over us. Amen.
.
Belshazzar didn’t believe in God. He bowed down to statues. His behaviour was bad and full of sin. We shouldn’t seek answers from wizards or magicians like Belshazzar first did. We should seek answers from God. He will
lead you in the right direction. Daniel 5:21
Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses. Dear God, please help us to seek guidance from You and not from wizards or magicians. You are the true Gold who will always help us . Amen.

Rainbows are amazing . God created them as a promise to us. His promise is that He will never again destroy the earth by flooding it. God will keep His promise. God loves us, just liked He loved Noah and his family and saved them from the bad storm. He will save us too.
Genesis 9:12-13 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Dear God, thank you creating the rainbows as a reminder of Your promise. Please help us to remember that no matter how bad the storm is, You love us and will always be there for us. Amen.

I have tried to hide from you today, but you still found me. Just like I couldn’t hide from you, you can’t hide from God. He made you, knows your thoughts and loves you very much.
Psalm 139:1-3
O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. Dear God, You see all that I do and all that I say. Please help me to do good things and say good words that are pleasing to You. Please help me not to try and hide from You. Amen.

I have a surprise for you today. I was reading in the Bible last night about how a young boy shared his lunch
which God used to feed thousands of people. It is good to share and be
generous. I thought I would share some of my favourite things with you.
John 6:9
“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” Dear God, You have given me a lot, please help me to share and be generous just like the boy in the story shared his lunch. Amen.
.
Salt was very important in Jesus’ time. It makes food taste better, helps preserves food, and helps heal as well. We should be like salt. We should help make life
better for others, help stop the bacteria of sin ruining everything, help heal people by
bringing them to the Lord.
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. Dear God, please help me to be like salt. Help me to spread the good news to others by telling them about you and your love for them. Amen.
.
I’m get sad when I lose things but am very happy when I find it again. Just like the shepherd who rejoiced when he found his lost sheep, there is lots of rejoicing in heaven when you follow Jesus. He is sad
when you turn away from Him, but rejoices when you turn back.
Luke 15:6
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ Dear God, thank you for never leaving me. I don’t want to make you sad, please help me to follow you and make you happy . Amen.
.
I am wrapped up in this cocoon just like a caterpillar. When the caterpillar comes out of the cocoon, they are a new creature. When you believe in Jesus and ask Him
into our life, He makes you a new creature.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Dear God, please help me to believe in You so that you can make me a new creature that trusts and obeys you. Amen.

Some people do bad things and try to get us to do them to. We should not follow them, but have a backbone and stand up tall and do what is right. Doing right is what makes
God happy.
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Dear God, please help me to make up my own mind and not to follow others and do the bad things that they do. Please help me to have a backbone and stand tall. Amen.
.
We can learn lots from ants. They are hard working, diligent and wise. They store up food for when they need it. We need to work hard, cooperate and be diligent too.
Proverbs 6:6
Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Dear God, thank you for the ants and help us to learn to be diligent and hard working like they are. Amen.
.
Jesus was a baby, then grew into a boy, then a man. He knows what you are going through. He came into the world for a reason. His reason was to die on the cross for our sins.
Luke 2:6-7
So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be
delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was
no room for them in the inn.
Dear God, thank you coming into the world. You know what it is like to be a baby, child and a man. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Amen.

The Legend of the Candy Cane
According to legend there was a candy maker in Indiana who wanted to invent a candy that was a
witness to Christ.
First of all, he used a hard candy because Christ is the rock of ages. This hard candy was shaped so that
it would resemble a “J” for Jesus or, turned upside down, a shepherd’s staff. He made it white to
represent the virgin birth and the sinless nature of Jesus.
Finally a red stripe was added to represent the blood
Christ shed for the sins of the world, and three thinner red stripes for the stripes He received on our behalf when the Roman soldiers whipped Him. Sometimes a green stripe is added as a reminder that Jesus is a
gift from God. The flavour of the cane is peppermint, which is similar to hyssop. Hyssop is in the mint family and was used in
the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Jesus is the pure Lamb of God, come to be a sacrifice
for the sins of the world.
So, every time you see a candy cane, remember the message of the candy maker: Jesus is the Christ!

M & M’s Christmas Poem As you hold these candies in your hand And turn them, you will see The 'M' becomes a 'W', An 'E', and then a '3'. They tell the Christmas Story-- I'm sure it's one you know. It took place in a stable A long, long time ago. The 'E' is for the East, Where the star shone so bright. The 'M' is for the Manger, where the Baby Jesus slept at night. The '3' is for the Wisemen, Bearing gifts, with which they came. 'W' is for Worship, Hallelujah! Praise His Name! So as you eat these candies Or share them with a friend, Remember the meaning of Christmas: It's a love that never ends.
