King of Kings Homeschool Advent Activity

Today we learned about one of the names of Jesus, King of Kings. This is a great Advent devotion to try in your homeschool. Preschoolers and toddlers will love it! You will need to assist younger children with the craft as it involves cutting. I found a great devotion at Streams of Living Water for me. Then I used the Scripture reference, Revelation 19:16Revelation 19:16
English: World English Bible - WEB
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

, to tailor a devotion for my kids.

~Remind the children that Christmas is all about Jesus, and He has many names in the Bible. Have the children give e few names if they can. Then read the Scripture, Revelation 19:16Revelation 19:16
English: World English Bible - WEB
16 He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

. “Jesus is KING OF KINGS.”

~Explain that the Hallelujah chorus uses the name “King of Kings” in it. “We’re going to listen to the song. Sing along and notice when ‘King of Kings’ comes up.” (This particular YouTube video has the lyrics printed in it.) You can also find the lyrics for the Hallelujah chorus here and for an extension activity learn the vocabulary words in it.)

~What does a king wear on his head? A crown, of course! We’re going to make a crown to remind us that Jesus is KING OF KINGS.” Below there are the instructions for how we made our crowns and pictures. You can also find a crown craft at Kaboose.

Supplies: 1 file folder/child, scissors, foil, stapler, pencil

-Fold a file folder in half length wise and cut along the fold. This will be the crown.

-Take one half of the file folder and fold it in half lengthwise again. Cut along the fold. This will be used to extend the crown to fit on your child’s head properly.

-Cut out a triangle template. Trace the triangle template along the top of the thicker piece of file folder. This makes the points on the crown.

-Shade the upside down triangles and have your child cut out the shaded triangles.

-Staple one side of the extension to the crown.

-Cover the entire crown with foil. (Foil is easy to tear making this craft easier for younger children.)

-Staple the two loose ends together to fit your child’s head.

Enjoy learning about the King of Kings!
