advent calender "challenges"....got any ideas?

[chimchar]

bought a calender with little pockets in.

have just filled it with some sweets and have run out!

am going to put little challenges in for the odd days i don't have sweets for.

so what can i put....3dc, aged 10, 7 and 4, boy, girl, boy if it matters....

ta muchly!

Marking place - have nil-by-mouth dd2, both siblings have chocolate calendars, feeling very inadequate atm!

bumpety bump.....

I am trying to think of things as well, not sure if you are along these lines...

Sing a Christmas song
Sing a Christmas carol
Name some ingredients that go into Christmas pudding/cake
Tell bits of the Christmas story
Draw a Christmas picture

(And if anyone can think of anymore that would be grand!)

Put the sweets in for the next few days and then go and get some more. (Ask me what I'm doing this year......)

Paper chain challenge - who can make the longest one?

I do one of these but mine are older!

How about

Walk like a turkey
3 christmas things beginning with 'C'
First verse of Jingle Bells backwards
2 of Santa's reindeer names
Make a snowflake
4 words that rhyme with 'glitter' or 'cracker'
4 words that begin with 'snow'

One for the 10 year old - how many birds did my true love send me? (mine always add it up wrong )

yayyy! thanks, you are fab!

Tidy room
clean windows
clean silver
lay the table

ie: useful things

ohh I have done things like make a cake for the birds, make peppermint creams, read a christmas story, make paper snowflakes

Name the 3 wise men, santa's reindeer, make salt dough decorations, make Christmas cards, sing jingle bells, silent night, make crackers, christmas biscuits, gingerbread house
