I am so excited for this year’s Light the World campaign as we prepare for Christmas. Check out the website for videos, downloads, and service ideas. The unique focus this year is to consider how to serve like 8 characters from the Nativity story. You can text LIGHT to 71234 to get text messages with information about each character and ideas to serve like them.

To make it a little more kid accessible I’ve taken the 8 characters (added one more for 9 total) and came up with service and activity ideas to go with each character.

My kids are currently 9, 7, and 3 and these Light the World activities have been a huge highlight each year. Below you will find links to a few options for the Light the Worlds for Kids Activity poster. I like to print it big to hang on the wall. If you haven’t discovered blueprint printing from Staples, you are missing out! I printed an 18×24 document for $3.40. Below you’ll find the links for my 18 x 24 activity poster, a blank 18 x 24 poster so you can fill in your own activities, or a document that has both in 8.5 x 11 if you want to just print them on your own at home.

I also created a very VERY simple Christmas journal. It’s 4 pages long. I like the idea of journaling, but I dislike the idea of making Christmas activities stressful. I also wanted something that could be meaningful for all age groups without feeling like a school assignment. Each page has a very simple prompt with a couple lines to write and then plenty of room to draw or write more, whatever floats each kids’ boat. Keep scrolling past all the Light the World poster options to download it.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! I hope this helps you and your family as we all work together to Light the World!
