Create Family Traditions with these Holiday Worksheets for Kids

Celebrate the holidays with your family as you connect traditions to God’s word and grow closer to your children with these worksheets for kids.

WHY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE HOLIDAYS WITH OUR FAMILY?

I love a reason to celebrate something. Dress up days at school, planning birthday parties and Christmas shopping excite me. I have been pretty intentional the past few years in making sure that I have something fun planned for one holiday a month.

But there’s more to my madness than painting Easter eggs and picking out Halloween costumes. It’s not so much about the fireworks for the 4th of July or the Christmas presents under the tree.

I want to create a habit in my children of joy and gratitude all year long. To teach them to remember those who came before us (4th of July, St. Patrick’s Day) and honor those who are in our lives now (birthdays, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day).

WHAT BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES CAN CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS WITH OUR FAMILY TEACH US?

The Bible is filled with celebrations and traditions given from God and passed down to his children. God wants us to acknowledge the importance of remembering the past and the lessons we have learned. He gave us the Sabbath to rest, and Passover to remember his faithfulness. Here are some ways you can honor God each holiday:

NEW YEAR’S – The reminder that we should pursue transformation and renewal
VALENTINE’S DAY – God is love and we are called to love one another
ST. PATRICK’S DAY – Celebrating our heritage, wherever we come from
EASTER – Learning about why Jesus came to Earth
END OF SCHOOL – Celebrating accomplishment and enjoying a time of rest
FATHER’S DAY – Honoring our parents
4TH OF JULY – Remembering God’s faithfulness and celebrating our freedom
BACK TO SCHOOL – The importance of study and applying what we learn
GRANDPARENT’S DAY – Honoring our elders and learning from their wisdom
HALLOWEEN – Focusing on being a light to others
THANKSGIVING – Gratitude for God’s goodness and blessings
CHRISTMAS – Celebrating the birth of our Savior

CELEBRATE GOD’S GOODNESS ALL YEAR LONG

Over the years, I’ve created several worksheets and activities for my kids. This year, I want to be more intentional in connecting them to the things we believe and honoring God as we move through the seasons.

Each month, we work on a specific character trait as we celebrate each holiday. In addition, I have 4 seasonal bucket lists to make sure we always have something fun to do when we need it!
