The Advent Quest Calendar

Twenty-four small quests for December: a little kindness, a little helping out, and a coin in a jar. Print it, stick it on the fridge, and tick one off each day.

Making it work

  • Swap anything that doesn’t suit your family. It’s your calendar, so cross out a quest and write in a better one. Families who don’t mark Christmas can run the same idea through any month.
  • Missed a day? Do two tomorrow, or just carry on. Nothing in this calendar should cause a row in December.
  • Mind the jar. Days 8, 20 and 21 go together: the coins saved along the way can go towards anything they choose.
