I have the super fun opportunity to help plan events for the Middle School Youth Ministry at our church. Seeing as how it’s Advent, I wanted to to plan an Advent themed game…but what to do with a bunch of middle schoolers? Thinking back to games I loved playing at this age brought the goofy “pin the tail on the donkey” and all the hilarious memories that came with it.
With that in mind, I created “Pin the Candle on the Advent Wreath”! Played in a similar style, each person adds one piece of an Advent wreath to the next in the hopes of building the perfect wreath. As you can see in the short 2-minute video, though, it doesn’t usually end up that way 🙂
This project was literally SO easy as there’s no sewing involved *and* cost about $5 to make. I created the video above for you to show you how to create your own “Pin the Candle on the Advent Wreath” game for your family or youth group event.
