Christmas digital advent countdown calendar for PowerPoint Google Slides

From December 1st, use this festive digital advent calendar to count down to Christmas. A fun addition to your daily December routine!

This resource is included as a partially editable PowerPoint and Google Slides document so you can use the one you prefer. The PowerPoint file has more options for slide transition (especially sounds) but otherwise, both files are the same.

How does it work?

There are 24 slides (one for each day of the month up to 24th December), plus the first slide with the doors. The number of doors is not editable.

A fixed, animated background is included for each slide, and you can add your own text and/or extra images for each day. You could include some mental or physical warm-ups, festive jokes, mindfulness activities, motivational quotes.... the choice is yours.

When you've filled in your slides, switch to present mode and click one of the numbered doors on slide 1. The link will take you to the corresponding slide.

Please note, the preview video shows the PowerPoint version. The Google Slides version does not have the transition animation between slides.

What teachers are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My Kindergartners looked forward to "knocking on the door" every morning. I appreciate that I could insert my own material. I loved doing this during the month of December!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My students love this! We do it every morning - it's a nice way to start the day and count down to Christmas. And I love that this is paperless and environmentally friendly! Thank you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I can't say enough how my students loved this product. It was easy to add/change awards. After we came back from winter break, students were still wanting to open doors!

If 24 days is too many for your Christmas countdown, there's also a 12-day version available here.
