Most Christmas printables are Santa, elves and reindeer. These five keep the stable in the middle of the table. The stable goes from 3 pieces to 5 to 8, the sheep from 1-5 up to 10 and memory from 6 pairs to 12, so a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old can play side by side, at home or in Sunday school.

Digital download. Nothing is shipped. Secure checkout by Hotmart, by card or PayPal.
Short answers for parents and teachers.
The first game has EASY, MEDIUM and HARD cards, and counting and memory can start small and grow, so you can hand over something easier or harder in a second. You can also play one card a day instead of everything at once. And if the kit isn't right for your child, you have 7 days to ask for a refund.
Hotmart is the checkout and delivery service we use. It takes your payment and emails your download link. Your card statement may show Hotmart.
Yes. You can print as many copies as you need for the children in your own class or Sunday school. Please don't share, sell or upload the files.
No. The kit is a set of games with the Nativity characters. It works well next to the Bible story or the lesson you already use.
On the first Sunday of Advent, November 29, and it ends on Christmas Eve. If you start later, begin on today's date or play at your own pace.
No. You get a download link by email right after you pay. You print the PDFs at home, at school or at a print shop. Nothing is mailed to you.
Ages 3-6. Younger kids start with the EASY cards and the color sort. Older kids enjoy the HARD cards and the memory game.
White cardstock works best (65 to 110 lb). Regular printer paper works too. In your print settings, choose "Actual size" or "100%" so the pieces keep their size.
About 15 minutes to print and cut enough to start the first game: the mat, the pieces and a page of EASY cards. The whole kit takes about an hour with scissors. Cardstock is enough, and laminating is optional.
Use the ink-saver edition. Almost everything is black and white, and the game still works. Kids can color the pieces before they play.
You get both. Use US Letter in the US and Canada and A4 almost everywhere else.
Yes, once the pieces are cut and with an adult nearby. The pieces are big for small hands, but they can still be a choking hazard. Not for children under 3.
Print it today and have the Advent countdown ready for Sunday, November 29.
