Looking for fun advent activities and puzzles for 6-9 year olds? Your kids will love Cracking the Christmas Code: An Advent Activity Book!
(That’s the reason I wrote Bible Investigators: Creation for your 8-12 year olds.)
Your 6-9 year olds will love this great Advent activity book written by Catherine Mackenzie.
An Advent Activity Book
Cracking the Christmas Code: An Advent Activity Book (CF4Kids, 2025) is a 61-page, 25-day, black-and-white illustrated book about the story of Jesus’ birth.
Each day covers one aspect of the Christmas story from Scripture, with one to three puzzles for your children to solve. (They are each going to want their own copy of this fun book!)
For example, Day 5 covers “What Mary Said.” Kids will solve a cryptogram to discover what Mary said to the angle who told her she would give birth to Jesus in Luke 1:37-38. Then, your children will read a short paragraph about Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, and solve a mirror puzzle to read a part of Mary’s song.
Cracking the Christmas Code contains a bunch of different puzzles and activities, including:
- Codes
- Cryptograms
- Word scrambles
- Word searches
- Mirror images
- Draw-by-graphs
- Dot-to-dots
- Morse code puzzles
- Fill-in-the-blank verses
- Coloring pages
- Find-the-differences
- Mazes
- Cyphers
- Missing vowels
- and more!
Honestly, for a kid who loves puzzles and a mom who loves the Bible, this book is a no brainer! You’ll want to grab a copy for all the 6-9 year olds you know!
