December can be a busy month in the classroom. A kids Advent calendar can give children something fun to look forward to each day, and a movement activity makes it easy to bring a little energy and play into your routine.
Yogalore’s 2026 Holiday Advent Kit includes 24 daily yoga pose pages with simple movement prompts for children. Invite your class to stand tall like a tree, stretch like a snowflake, or wiggle like a reindeer. The activities are secular and school-safe, with clear directions and pose photos to help children follow along.
Easy ways to use a movement Advent calendar
Add it to circle time. Choose the day’s prompt and invite children to try it together. You can model the movement first, or let the children suggest their own way to move like a snowflake or reindeer.
Use it during transitions. A movement prompt can give children something active to do while they wait for the next part of the day. Try one before lining up, after a story, or when everyone needs a moment to reset.
Offer it as a brain-and-body break. Keep the activity short and playful. Children can stretch, balance, wiggle, or make up their own version of the movement. The goal is simply to get moving and enjoy a change of pace.
Send the fun home on weekends. The calendar includes weekend take-home sheets, so families can join the countdown beyond the classroom. Children can share a movement prompt with someone at home and keep the holiday activity going.
Keep the countdown going at home
If your school’s winter break begins before Christmas, the fun doesn’t have to end on the last day of class. Share one movement prompt each day through your private classroom family group, school communication app, or email. Children can try the activity at home with their families and keep the holiday countdown going until Christmas. The weekend take-home pages offer another way to bring the activities home.

A little holiday fun, with less planning

The teacher guide helps you get started, and the simple prompts make the activities easy to pick up and use.
