17 of the Best Advent for Kids Activities for your Family Inside: Fun Advent for Kids Printables to help countdown Christmas Share the nativity with your kids in a fun and unique way with these FUN and Easy Advent Activities. On Christmas morning, there were ash boot prints on my carpet and sleigh marks on my roof in the snow. To say my parents went over board to help us believe in Santa is an under statement. My child hood is filled with stories of Santa, reindeer, and all things Christmas. Did you grow up KNOWING Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas? I sure didn’t. And yet, Christmas remains magical in my life, even without a jolly old man in a red suit. Weaving the truth about the nativity story into our kids’ lives while surrounded by tinsel and elves can be a bit challenging, right? 17 Quick Advent for Kids Activities All 17 activities included in the BUNDLE 1. Advent Door Hanger Craft For 8 days, read a little bit about the nativity Story as found in the Bible. Then cut, laminate, and hang a decorative door hanger as a reminder that we choose to let Jesus in. A New Door Hanger for 8 days! Includes: mini story book foldable with prompts to help your child learn and re-tell the greatest true story of all time: The Birth of our Lord and Savior! 8 Advent style Door hangers (With light and dark skin alternatives!) These make fun and easy craft and story time, but also make a fantastic gift set! I laminated mine with –> peel and stick self laminate. Get your free copy of this set here. 2. Advent Scattergories 3. Advent Dice Game for Toddlers 4. Build your own Nativity Board Game 5. Mini Jesse Tree Activity/Craft 6. Daily Readings to Help your Kids understand the Nativity story from the Bible. As I began having kids of my own, i really wrestled with Christmas in general. Yes, I LOVE that it’s all about Jesus. But would my kids miss out on the MAGIC I experienced as a child? Nope. Heads up: No judgement here! Although you and I both know Santa is a myth and Jesus is real, many still bring the belly jiggling fellow into their homes. Like my third son. He was about 5-years old when he said, “Mom, I KNOW Santa is make believe, but I’m gonna have fun pretending to believe in him anyway.” Even at 18-years old, he just loves to add ALL the holiday flair into the scene; even as a sold-out-for-Jesus worship leader at church. 7. Ornaments for a flip Book 8. Advent Ornaments for a tree 9. Christmas Chain Countdown Craft 10. Advent: Make Your Own Calendar Adding Advent themed activities into our kids learning activities is another fun way to bring the advent season alive. Just make the focus the Lord, rather than the grade. 11. Advent: Language Activity- Find the Missing parts of the word 12. Advent: Writing: Diamante poem about Jesus 13. Advent Themed Math: Fact families 14. Advent themed math:Pie Graph 15. Advent Maze: Help Joseph and Mary find Bethlehem 16. Maze: Help the wise men find Jesus 17.

40 Creative Writing Projects for Kids who Hate Pencils Inside: Free printable with 42 fun writing prompts plus creative writing ideas! He sat slumped in a chair glaring at the blank page; his freedom held captive by the writing assignment taunting him. The instructions read, “write a paragraph describing the weather.” He snorts. “Who cares about the weather, I just want to see if I can get to the next level on my new video game. In the old days, we’d call this a polaroid- a simple snapshot of a moment in time. The image is so typical- child sits at table with a stomach ache, a headache, a bad attitude or their 14th broken pencil. All because a stupid writing prompt is giving them the evil eye. Subscribe to A Better way to Homeschool on YouTube We want to raise up writers, not kids who mangle the English language- but how? Right now two of our five sons are chopping wood with their dad. They were driven to a dark scary piece of land with a borrowed trailer attached to our SUV. Once far off the beaten path they were directed to the freshly cut giant. My husband enthusiastically wielded a chainsaw and cut the trunk into manageable 500 pound pieces. Maybe, they were lighter. I couldn’t tell you for sure. I was delegated to watch the boys “hump the logs” out of the wood. (That’s men talk) Those very heavy logs were carefully brought home. Enter my hero: My husband. He takes the boys to the hardware store and buys a couple of axes. While my husband looked the other way, each son looked at me with pleading eyes. “Save me mommy.” I said nothing. I trust that my husband- a manly man- is much more equipped to teach boys how to be men than I am. Plus, I had a cup of coffee to enjoy with my bon-bons. An hour later, the door bursts open and my wood-chopping sons walk in with a very distinct swagger. Lumberjacks in training. They were all wearing sawdust covered jeans, work boots and flannel shirts. You could taste the testosterone in the air. “Mom, that was AWESOME!” Funny how being taught to do something challenging and dangerous leaves a “lovely glow” on the face of a growing boy. Our young men need to swing axes. Even if it’s metaphorically speaking. I wish it were that same for basic writing skills. Writing is one of those skills that many of us have been forced into against our wills. But we need to STOP grouping writing into the same category as forcing our 11-year old sons to shower daily. (I swear my kid believes that water will melt his manliness.) After 25-years of teaching and homeschooling, I’ve found the secret sauce to teaching kids to write. The 3 Know Knows of Writing Believe in yourself. You can teach your kids to write. Believe in your kids. They have it in their hearts to become excellent writers. Believe in fairies. Because fairies make life magical. So what is the trick to teaching kids to write? Take their pencils away. Send them into the woods to chop wood with their dad. Read a book together and them buy a HUGE tub of popcorn and go see the movie version at the theater and watch them discover there is a BIG difference. Read funny product labels at the grocery store. Watch them do something they love and create questions to ask them later about the activity. Collect jokes, riddles, and hilarious and nonsensical songs to share at random and unexpected times in the day. Read aloud to them daily and leave them hanging in the story– begging for you to read “one more chapter”. Collect memories, experiences, and opportunities for excitement. Teach them to brainstorm. When my sons came back to the school table after chopping wood, we filled up our white board with all the words and phrases about chopping trees and wielding axes TOGETHER on our 4 x 6 whiteboard. I held the marker and drew an axe in the hand of a stick figure. The axe was 2x larger than the man, and then I wrote “The day I almost died” on the board. The boys laughed and then I asked them to describe their day in detail. “Slow down,” I can’t write that fast! The following day, we sat in front of the white board and I whipped out my 40 types of writing list and had the boys each choose how they would capture their day in the woods on paper. 40+ Types of Writing to Teach Your Kids Get your FREE Printable here Text messaging Facebook posts Twitter tweets Instagram Descriptions Linked in Profile emails Friendly letters Grocery lists Birthday cards Comics strips Write to a prompt Letters to their Future Self Recipes Directions to the zoo Instructions for making the perfect cup of coffee Review a play Word webs Speech Writing Book Report Alternatives Cornell notes Outlines Essays Research Papers Poetry Music lyrics Mentor Sentences Newsletter Books Short stories Journal entries Captions for pictures Resumes Job applications Cover letters Paraphrasing MLA citation Works Cited pages Blog Script writing Autobiography Comparison Chart Scattergories! Teach writing without pencils Experience first! Kids need to touch, taste, see, smell, fear, hear, and experience something first. Then, they need to practice brainstorming everything they can think of about that topic. What did it feel like? Smell like? Sound like? You hold the pencil. The most important part of writing is brainstorming wrapped in a real life experience. Now, Go give your kids an axe. These also make great additions to your emergency file.

A Writing Lesson without Pencils? Me: Everyday, we should choose a new creative word to describe the water. Without hesitation, my 18-year old said, “serene”. Driving to college, I repeated for the 113th time, “always comment, always notice, always see the little things; because life is made up of little things. And it’s those little things that matter.” We drive by this water’s edge every single day on our way to the college, and every single day the face of the water is different. And we comment.Gorgeous, calm, glassy, row-able, turbulent, choppy, moving, rushing, flowing, and today… SERENE. Because we want to raise our kids to cherish the little things. But I also cheat. Don’t miss what’s happening (and for the love of Pete, don’t tell my kids what I’m doing) Vocabulary building on the road!!!((Insert high 5 here)) We want our kids to notice the water every single day. Because it’s gorgeous: True. If you don’t have a water view, exchange it for something you see everyday and now take for granted too: a mountain view, an endless sky, a majestic tree, open range, or whatever is in your backyard. Teach your kids to notice, by doing your noticing out loud. Daily. Stretch their vocabulary, tell related clean jokes, invent an imaginary creature who lives in the scene, challenge them to a new word a day contest. Because at the end of our homeschool journey, we want kids that says things like, “Lord, You’re just showing off today with those colors in the sky!” or”I love how serene the water looks when it’s slack tide.” Today, embrace the beauty and give it a label. Because it’s the little things that matter!! How to Build vocabulary from everyday sights 1. Today: Brainstorm as many words as you can to describe water with your kids. Challenge them to come up with 50 before revealing the truth. (you hold the pencil and write word they call out to you) 2. Tomorrow: Peek at the 1000 words to describe water: https://describingwords.io/for/water 3. Then give them a prompt and challenge everyone to write the rest of the story. 4. When you’re done, have a readers theater where everyone reads their ending! Prompt with the picture: The day started serene. The water playfully reflecting the homes along its shoreline.A cheerful seagull bobbed up and down on the gentle current enjoying the break of a new day.No one would have guessed what happened next… The GOAL of all writing is clear communication.

(Scroll down for the answers!)If you don’t see your question here, just hit “reply” and ask away. What do I actually get as a Sticky Blogging student?How do I know this will work for my niche?How much time will this course take me?Do I have to be available at a specific time every week?How is this course different from your SEO course? Is there any overlap?What about the Blog Smarter program? Is there any overlap with that?But…is this course really worth it?Do you have payment plans?Will you review my posts during this class?Do you offer any sort of guarantee?What if I don’t have my blog started yet? Or what if my blog is still brand new? 1.

These extra goodies are exclusive to students who enroll in the Sticky Blogging master class by Wednesday night.Yes, please! Add my name to the roster now2. How do I know this will work for my niche?If you write words that you want other people to read, and you also want those people to take action after reading them—to click the share button, to subscribe to your list, to get your product, and so on—then the Sticky Blogging approach will work for you.The reason Sticky Blogging works for any niche is that it’s based on the science of how people read and of what moves them to action.Because that’s where the real growth happens. More shares, new subscribers, and new followers means more traffic. More traffic, more clicks on affiliate links, and more customers means more earnings.3. How much time will this course take me?This course is designed for busy bloggers who can’t afford to put everything else on hold for an e-course.Starting Monday, October 10, you’ll receive two lessons each week for five weeks. Each lesson will take you approximately 30-45 minutes, for a total time commitment of around one hour a week. Beyond the course material itself, the time it will take you to implement the Sticky Blogging strategies on your own blog will vary based on your specific situation.And if life gets in the way? No worries. The course includes lifetime access to all the course materials…plus any future course updates. So you can breathe more easily, knowing that when life settles down again, you’ll have what you need to get back on track.4. Do I have to be available at a specific time every week?Nope! You can go through the lessons on your own schedule, so you do not have to be available at any specific time of day.You’ll also get access to a live Q&A group coaching call with me every week to get answers to any questions you have about the lessons that week. And the calls are also recorded in case you can’t make it live. 5. How is this course different from your SEO course? Is there any overlap?The Sticky Blogging master class is a completely separate program from the Sticky SEO course. In this master class, we dive deep on the most important skill for your success as a blogger: how to write in a way that grabs the reader’s attention, compels them to keep reading, and drives them to take action—whether that’s to share your post, subscribe to your list, get your product, or whatever your goal is.On the other hand, the Sticky SEO course teaches you only how to grow your organic search traffic from Google and other sources. We do address some SEO techniques in the Sticky Blogging master class, but the Sticky SEO course goes much deeper on the topic of getting your content to show up in search.6. What about the Blog Smarter program? Is there any overlap with that?The Sticky Blogging master class is also a completely separate program from Blog Smarter.Sticky Blogging is a 5-week class where we focus on how to blog in a way that compels the reader to keep reading and then drives them to take action. On the other hand, Blog Smarter is a 12-week mentorship program that many students have said is a lot like getting an MBA in how to run a successful blog-based business.Because Blog Smarter is an intensive mentorship program, registration opens just once a year and is currently not open.7. But…is this course really worth it?You should know that I make it my personal goal to deliver massive value to my students during this course. For five weeks, I clear my schedule and spend a big chunk of time every single weekday on call to my students. I review homework, answer questions, and hold video Q&A sessions where we tackle all things Sticky Blogging…and any other blogging question on your mind.This is why many of my students tell me this course is actually more like a coaching program.No better person to ask than a blogger who’s been through the full Sticky Blogging program. These comments came directly from the survey I send to students at the end of the course: Krystal: “I’m really happy about my email open rates for the last couple of emails since starting the course: 75.8% and 61%. A few months ago, I had no list, no idea what I would ever send to a list or how to write the emails in a way that would connect with my readers. I also received a nice reply from a reader who shared my life coaching info with a group she’s in (of 28K) – so that’s a pretty cool win. “Victoria: “I’ve been reading blog posts I admire (like Kelly’s!) and I thought writing like that was just reserved for those who had natural talent. After Sticky Blogging, now I know it’s not that hard to write in an engaging way. Even with just the first lesson, it already transformed how I wrote! 🙂 During the course, I applied the technique to an email about a master class I was offering, I got way more registrations.”Terri: “My average session duration has skyrocketed to over 14 minutes! The people that have found my blog are ‘sticking around.’ “Brittany: “I’m brand new to blogging so I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to relate to or apply some of what we learned in the class. But you did such a great job breaking the information into accessible chunks, making the course material interesting, and providing such fantastic support in the online community. I never felt overwhelmed, confused, or like a ‘newbie.’After applying what I learned, my email newsletter open and click rate are significantly higher than the average over the previous six months!”Jen: “I questioned why I should spend money on a course that I was assuming I could likely figure out on my own. Just do a few more Pinterest/Google searches or attend a few more free blogging webinars or read a few more biz blog posts.I was wrong. I’m so glad I listened to that voice in me that said I should do this. Sticky Blogging is one of the best investments I’ve made in myself.This course isn’t about some trick to make your blog stronger…it’s about completely rethinking the way you blog to connect you with your readers in a powerful way. And the course helped me rediscover my love of writing, something that goes way beyond authoring a blog as a side shoot to my business. Kelly is present throughout the course and gives, gives, and gives some more as a teacher. She’s such a generous resource of support and the course went above and beyond my expectations.”Angela: “This course was challenging and fun. I enjoyed every bit of it. I felt stretched as a writer and loved the satisfaction of seeing my posts improve daily. Being able to interact with other students was so helpful, and I learned nearly as much in the course community as I did in the lessons.This course has fundamentally changed my writing for the better. I haven’t felt this excited about writing in a long, long time. So, thank you, Kelly. Thank you, mentors. Thank you, fellow students. Best. Course. Ever!”Kelly W.: “Thank you so much for this course! I was truly nervous that this was going to be just another course that didn’t live up to the hype…I have never recommended a course before, but this is one that I will be sharing with others. It’s challenging but doable, stretching the student as a business owner and made me stop and think about how my business is ran.Plus, unlike so many other courses, this one translates to all avenues of the online business world – blogs, emails, and social media posting.I am motivated and looking forward to transitioning from just another blog about homeschooling to a ‘sticky’ blog about homeschooling where my words can reach the readers they intended for.”Rachel: “Sure, I could write a decent literary analysis paper in college- but writing to connect with people online is a different art form, and you’ve nailed it. All the printables are out of this world useful. I reference them every day multiple times. And I keep coming back to the lessons again and again.I used to have people share posts on social media only once in a blue moon. Now I can guarantee when I press publish that every single post will be shared. Each post has gotten more shares than the one before!”Anne: “This has been the *most* helpful class I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken a lot). The lessons are applicable to so many more areas of my business than just my blog…I know I’ll be able to keep working on this, keep honing my skills and ultimately use what I’ve learned to truly make a difference in my readers’ lives. Thank you!”Andy: “So many of us say ‘Why hasn’t this post taken off? What am I doing wrong? How come this person’s audience is growing leaps and bounds and my content is stagnant?’ This course shows you that there are a lot of common mistakes that are holding back your already great content from reaching its best possible audience… and it includes exactly how to fix it.”Adrianne: “You have taught me SO much. It is hard to find the words! Sticky Blogging has helped me to take all my random thoughts and turn them into blog posts that actually help people.My readers noticed a difference right away and feel like I totally ‘get them’ which I am thrilled about! Because I do get them, but didn’t adequately express that in the past.Sticky Blogging has helped me conquer the blank screen overwhelm because I know what points I need to cover and brainstorming it is much easier. I am also willing to spend more time writing than I was in the past because I know it will actually pay off.”Bekki: “Having you as a guide makes me feel like I can travel through the Amazon rainforest of blogging and not get lost.”Kathi: “Every day I learn something with your course. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your heart and passion for helping other writers.”Corinne: “Sticky Blogging has made me rethink my entire writing and editing process. The way Kelly has written and designed the course, makes it very easy to understand how to apply it to my own writing. I’ve genuinely been surprised by how amazing the course is.”Tove: “I have been impressed with every aspect of this course. Too many bloggers are self-proclaimed experts in various aspects of the blogging craft. There is nothing worse than signing up for a course that then doesn’t teach you anything new. This is NOT that type of course.I have been so excited for this because I know you have the skills to keep your readers reading—because I read every single email from you—from start to finish—and then I laugh and think ‘Damn she’s effective!’Thank you for living up to your pledge with this course. It is the best one I have attended.” 8. Do you have payment plans?Yep! For your convenience, you’ll find them under the “Claim my spot” buttons on this page:Join me inside Sticky Blogging here9. Will you review my posts during this class?To be clear, this is a group class and not a one-on-one coaching program, so you will not receive a personalized individual critique. However, I’m active inside the private course community every weekday, answering questions and reviewing homework—as is your team of course mentors. And we make it our goal to make sure every question is answered.Plus, you will have weekly live (and recorded) Q&A group coaching calls with me to address your specific questions as you put the Sticky Blogging techniques to work on your blog.You’ll also be able to submit your post or email for a chance to be reviewed by me in a live “Sticky Makeover” video session. Even if your post isn’t the one reviewed, this real-time critique session is a powerful learning experience that will reinforce all the Sticky Blogging strategies you learn.10. Do you offer any sort of guarantee?Absolutely. If you aren’t satisfied within the first 30 days after the class start date, contact me and I’ll work with you one-on-one until you’re satisfied.After the course ends, you’ll also get lifetime access to a private alumni group that I run for students, where you can ask questions, request feedback, and share your “aha” moments. In other words, you won’t take this class once and never hear from me again. You’ll be a part of the tight-knit Sticky Blogging family.11. What if I don’t have my blog started yet? Or what if my blog is still brand new?Full disclosure: The Sticky Blogging master class doesn’t step you through the basics of setting up a blog the first time. With that said, I’ve had students who start the course with no blog in place, students who’ve been blogging for 10+ years, and everyone in between.So it really depends on your personal preference. My students who are just starting their blogs tell me they’re grateful to have taken Sticky Blogging at the very beginning of their blogging journey because they can start off the right way, connecting with readers and turning them into true fans with every post they publish and every message they send.Also, during the course, I encourage students to ask any and all questions about blogging in our private class community—not just about the course material. So if you’re at the beginning stage of your blogging journey, the course mentors and I are available in the community to answer any questions you have, from how to choose a host to picking a blogging platform to social media tactics and more.We even have a special networking group inside the course called “The New Crew” that’s just for bloggers at the start of their journeys! If you aren’t seeing the results you want, it’s time for a change.Churning out more and more content isn’t paying off. You’ll end up burning yourself out on blogging before you even get close to meeting your goals.The truth is that you’ll be more likely to achieve your long-term blogging goals if you put a few tasks on hold while you take this course. Get off that publish-promote-publish-promote hamster wheel, and put that time towards learning the strategies that will make your blogging dreams a reality.Instead of posting three times a week, cut back to once or twice. Instead of spending an hour “networking” on Facebook, close that browser tab. Instead of using every spare moment to pin or tweet or check Google Analytics, stop. Take the time to invest in your future, and it will pay off.When you’re ready to take your blog to the next level, get access to the Sticky Blogging master class before it closes again:I’m ready. Let me in!See you on the inside,Kellyp.s. Don’t forget: The deadline to snag the early bird goodies is tonight at 11:59 pm Central (4:59 am UTC next day).
