Here are some of our most popular Advent lessons that teachers love year after year:
1. Advent PowerPoint Lessons
A quick and engaging way to introduce Advent:
- 23 slides covering Advent traditions, wreath symbolism, and candle meanings (Prophecy, Bethlehem, Shepherds, Angels, Hope, Faith, Joy, Love).
- Includes tips for active waiting and preparing throughout Advent.
- Perfect for last-minute lessons or a deeper dive into the season.
How I’ve used it:
I love using this PowerPoint for an easy introduction to Advent. It’s quick to display and easy for students to follow, and it really helps them connect the symbols of Advent to the season.
Teacher Review:
“Wonderful way to enter the season of Advent! Lots of information and time for discussion.“
2. Advent Trivia Lessons
Make learning interactive and hands-on:
- 30 trivia questions with answers and short explanations for deeper learning.
- Answer key included so students can track their own answers.
- Can be posted around the room for a walking, discussion-based activity.
How I’ve used it:
I like to post these trivia questions around the room and let the students walk around, read, and answer them. It’s perfect for students who need movement to focus, and it also allows me to reinforce the content from the PowerPoint in a more interactive way.
3. Advent Skit Lessons
Bring Advent traditions to life in your classroom:
- Seven themes: Advent Overview, Advent Wreath, Advent Calendar, Christmas Trees, Jesse Tree, Nativity Scene with St. Francis, and a Conclusion.
- Can be used as one long activity or split into short lessons over time.
- 22 roles allow many students to participate.
- Interactive, fun, and memorable—perfect for kinesthetic learners.
How I’ve used it:
I often use this skit in pieces during my Faith Formation class—just a few minutes at a time. It’s perfect for filling small gaps in the schedule or when I want to introduce a new Advent tradition. Kids engage with the story, act out roles, and remember traditions even when we’re squeezing something in to the last 5 minutes of class.
4. Advent Wreath Reading Comprehension Lessons
Perfect for independent learning or homework:
- Three levels: Upper elementary, middle school, and high school.
- Each passage is a one-page reading about the Advent wreath.
- Includes 10 comprehension questions and 10 discussion questions.
- Ideal for reinforcing Advent concepts and reading skills.
How I’ve used it:
These reading passages are great when students need something they can do independently. They work perfectly for homework, small groups, or extra practice in class. Sometimes students need a quieter, more reflective activity, and this lets them learn about Advent while showing their understanding through comprehension and discussion questions.
Teacher Review:
“As a Catholic School teacher, this was used as a homework assignment, then glued into our Faith Formation notebook as a reference page! Great resource!“

The FREE Printable Catholic Kids Bulletin worksheets match up to the weekly Mass readings in the Catholic Church. There are coloring pages that match the weekly Gospel reading. There are Mass activities throughout the month, as well as Psalm copy work and a word search. In addition, the order of the liturgy of the Mass along the top of each bulletin also helps kids follow along during Mass. Next, they can learn the order and structure of the Mass.
