Ring in the New Year - You Will Love These Ideas!

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Reader!

A new year can feel big and a little overwhelming—for us and for our kids.

I love using this time to look back with gratitude and look ahead with faith, without a ton of pressure or complicated goals.

Faith-Filled New Year Ideas

Here are some New Year’s ideas you can use at home or in a classroom:

  • ​New Year’s Prayer Wheel for Kids​
    This printable wheel walks kids through simple prayers about:
    • Thankfulness for the past year
    • Asking for God’s guidance
    • Praying for others
    • Growing in faith
    • Courage for new challenges
    • Trusting God’s plan
      It includes a matching coloring page and a take-home page that connects each section to Bible verses.

  • Family or Classroom Gratitude List​
    Sit together and list:
    • “Ways God was faithful last year”
    • “People we want to pray for this year”
  • Forgiveness & Fresh Starts​
    This is a great moment to talk about forgiveness—both the forgiveness we receive from God and the forgiveness we extend to others. You can use a forgiveness craft or activity as a visual reminder.
  • Verse for the Year​
    As a family, classroom, or group, choose one Bible verse to memorize and revisit throughout the year (for example, Proverbs 3:5 or Joshua 1:9).
