Elementary School Character Education Games

The Fruit of the Spirit Retreat is a COMPLETE day of activities, lessons, handouts, and games to help students learn about the Fruit of the Spirit. Perfect for a Confirmation Retreat.

The Fruits of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23 are a great lesson that’s easy enough for all students to understand, but still deepen their knowledge and ability to act with those fruits. This is great for any class and would be a perfect Confirmation Retreat for Catholic students.

Galatians 5:22-23 God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled.

The PowerPoint and handouts were created so it can be displayed throughout the entire retreat and guide students (and leaders) through every step of the day. Just print, prepare a few supplies (listed in the PowerPoint), and you’re ready to go! The PowerPoint is fully editable so you can read through the retreat and make adjustments to fit your students. The timing is flexible and activities could easily be moved or removed to fit your schedule. This retreat could easily fill an full day, or could be shortened without losing the meaning.

The worksheets (handouts) are in the PDF included in this download. Instructions for their use are throughout the PowerPoint.

This was designed for Middle School Students but could be used for 4th-12th grade.
