Every Day Something New

Come back every day for a fresh joke, a puzzle and a small Christmas challenge.

Children love having something to look forward to, and these daily Christmas activities for kids give them a reason to visit Santa's village again and again. They are free, need no sign-up and work on phones, so a quick visit fits easily into breakfast, the school run or bedtime.

Elf Jokes brings one new joke every day of the year, so there is always something to giggle at and read aloud. Where's Santa Today? shows a busy picture of the village, and your job is to spot Santa among all the elves, reindeer and presents. It looks easy, but he is good at hiding.

From 1 December, the Advent Game Door gives you a 60-second challenge each day. Open a door, play the game and come back tomorrow for the next one. If you open all 24 doors, you can print a certificate to be proud of. It is a nice alternative to waiting for the day to end, and a great way to count down to Christmas together.

Nice List Points is made for grown-ups to use with children. Tick off the kind things your child has done, such as helping with tea or sharing toys, and they collect points and badges. Everything is kept on the device, so nothing is sent anywhere and there is no account to make.

You will also find a daily challenge and a streak on the games page. Play each day to keep your streak growing, and see how long you can make it. Between the jokes, the puzzles, the advent doors and the kind deeds, there is plenty to enjoy every single day in the lead-up to Christmas. Even a minute a day adds up, and children enjoy seeing their streak grow. Nothing here needs a password, an account or an email address, so it is easy for a whole family to share one phone or tablet. Pick a time that suits you, perhaps after school or just before tea, and make it part of your December routine.
