Religion Activities

Great Buddy Activity:

I designed this directed drawing as an activity when my fifth graders were working with preschoolers. We celebrated May by learning about Mary and finished by creating a picture of Mary.

Older students led the younger students, but this could easily be a teacher led activity.

Creativity comes into the activity when the students color and add their own details onto the picture of Mary.

What's included:

• Diagram of each step of the directed drawing.

How is this product useful:

• No prep for the teacher.
• Easy follow steps for the students.

These 27 Easter BOOM Cards tell the true story of the events leading up to and following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. All reading portions are taken directly from the Bible (ESV) and contain full audio for your students or children. Many of the cards also contain interactive elements such as moving objects or answering questions. This is an errorless deck, meaning that students cannot get a wrong answer and can do this independently. (Although, I recommend doing it alongside of them, when possible, to help with any difficult words or ideas throughout the text.)

Please enjoy this free deck reminding us all about what Jesus did for sinners like us. Happy Easter!

Statement of Faith:

I believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. I believe that Jesus is fully God and fully human, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and paid the penalty for our sins through his death on the cross, resurrected on the third day having victory over death. I believe in the trinity, that God is existent in 3 separate persons - God the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe, as Calvary Chapel states, “that all people are by nature separated from God and responsible for their own sin, but that salvation, redemption, and forgiveness are freely offered to all by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a person repents of sin and accepts Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, trusting Him to save, that person is immediately born again and sealed by the Holy Spirit, all his/her sins are forgiven, and that person becomes a child of God, destined to spend eternity with the Lord.” If you’d like to read more, you can click HERE.

There are coloring pages that match the weekly Gospel reading. There are activities throughout the month, along with Psalm copy work and a word search. The liturgy of the Mass is outlined along the top of each bulletin so kids can follow along during Mass and learn the order and structure of the Mass. Each week, a Catholic Saint is also highlighted. These are terrific to be used at Mass, or as a pre-teaching activity to help prepare your students for the Sunday Mass.

• Saint John Chrysostom: He spoke about bees because of their family structure and hard-working nature. These honey sticks would be a fun addition to a lesson about him!
• Saint Padre Pio: Here are two craft ideas to make Monstrances (one, two). We see the Monstrance so rarely at our church, so I think it’s important to give kids a visual for this one. This Pray by Sticker book includes a monstrance and this style of book definitely keeps my kids busy!
• Saint Vincent de Paul
• Saint Moses of Palermo
• Saint Gregory the Great
• Ordinary Time

Here are TWO other activities to help your kids understand the Mass. Sorting cards will help students understand the order of the liturgy. Bingo cards will help to reinforce their knowledge and add some fun and games.

Visit Catholic Kids Bulletin each month for more activities!

These Catholic Kids Bulletin coloring page worksheets are a helpful resource that can be used by many different people. Teachers in Catholic schools or religious education programs can use these worksheets as part of their weekly lessons to help students understand the Gospel readings better. Homeschooling parents will find these activities useful for creating a faith-focused learning environment at home. Parish catechists can also use these worksheets to give children fun ways to learn about the Mass and the lives of the Saints.

These bulletins aren’t just for use during Mass—they can be a great tool to use before Mass, too. By going over the Gospel readings and related activities before Sunday, students will be more prepared to understand and take part in the Mass. This preparation helps them have a deeper spiritual experience and makes the teachings of the Church more meaningful to their everyday lives. After Mass, the activities can also be used to review and discuss what they learned, helping kids to think more about what they heard.

For teachers, these worksheets provide a ready-to-use resource that matches the Church’s calendar, saving time in lesson planning while ensuring that the content is both educational and spiritually enriching. The stories of the Saints included in the bulletins offer chances to connect with other subjects, like learning about the time period when a Saint lived or talking about the virtues they showed. By using these bulletins, teachers can create a well-rounded religious education experience that is both interesting and helpful for students.

This is a worksheet to cut out the Armor of God object and glue it to the matching characteristic/strength of that object. The worksheet is great for homework, review, or a number of other uses in the home or the classroom.

NOTE: The Bible verse is from the NRSVCE. This makes them perfect for any Catholic classroom or religious education!

NOTE: If you've purchased the Armor of God BUNDLE , this item is included in that bundled set.

UPDATE: An answer key has been added.

UPDATE: (04/04/2020) These worksheets were updated to using the verses from the NRSVCE version of the Bible so that all Armor of God resources match and can be used together. This change is NOT shown in the preview.

Students will choose one of the following pages of scripture and create blackout poetry. They will select words to create a phrase that will be featured as their poetry. After creating the poem, they will color the rest of the page, leaving only the key phrases uncovered.

Students can create traditional blackout poetry and use a black marker to cover the rest of the page. They could also choose to draw a picture of the passion or resurrection over the words to convey more meaning.

The pages all contain words from Matthew 26 and 27 which tell about Jesus’ passion and death. There are different fonts available to give the students more choice in their assignment.

When I assign this project, I ask the students to use these sad words to create a positive poem, reflecting the glory of the resurrection, and then draw a resurrection image over the words. This helps the students reflect on the sadness of Jesus’ death, but also to focus on the purpose of His sacrifice and the goodness and grace that came from His death.

34 Pages for Blackout Poetry

This activity is a great introduction or follow-up to my Lent Bundle of games, guided notes, PowerPoint, and a test. I love to use this toward the end of the unit so students can reflect on the deeper meaning of all the content that we’ve been covering.

Objective: Reflect on the words of scripture and create a poem and artwork to communicate some of the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Choose a page of words from Matthew 26 & 27.

Create a poem by selecting words from throughout the page. Most poems will be about 10-20 words long. The poem does not need to rhyme—it will be free form poetry.

Feature the words of your poem so the reader will read your poem, but not the rest of the words on the page. You can leave your selected words blank, draw a box around each word, or color your poem in one color and color the rest of the page with other colors.

.

Cover the rest of the page with color. You could draw a picture covering the page, or ‘blackout’ all the other words on the page by neatly coloring the entire page with one color.

Additional Ideas for Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Collaborative Projects: Encourage students to work collaboratively to create blackout poetry on larger sheets of paper, combining multiple pages of scripture. This promotes teamwork, discussion, and a collective interpretation of the text.
2. Multimedia Elements: Integrate technology by having students use digital tools to create blackout poetry. They can use graphic design software, apps, or even incorporate audio elements to enhance their artistic expression.
3. Reflection Journals: Pair the blackout poetry activity with reflective writing. Ask students to journal about their choice of words, the process of creating their poem, and the emotions they experienced during the activity. This helps deepen their personal connection to the scripture.
4. Gallery Walk: Organize a gallery walk where students showcase their blackout poetry. This provides an opportunity for the entire class to appreciate and interpret the diverse perspectives and creative expressions of their peers.
5. Cross-Curricular Connections: Connect the blackout poetry activity to other subjects, such as history or theology. Discuss the historical context of the scriptures or explore theological concepts related to Jesus' sacrifice, making it a more interdisciplinary learning experience.

Benefits of Lent Blackout Poetry:

1. Critical Thinking: Analyzing and selecting words for blackout poetry requires careful consideration and critical thinking. Students must delve into the scripture, discerning which words carry the most significant meaning for their intended positive message.
2. Artistic Expression: This activity allows students to express themselves artistically, whether through traditional blackout methods or by incorporating drawings and images related to the passion and resurrection. It caters to various learning styles.
3. Spiritual Reflection: Lent is a time for introspection and spiritual growth. The blackout poetry project provides students with a unique opportunity to connect emotionally and spiritually with the scriptures, fostering a deeper understanding of the Easter narrative.
4. Creativity: The open-ended nature of blackout poetry encourages creativity. Students can experiment with different fonts, colors, and artistic elements, making each creation a unique representation of their interpretation.
5. Integration of Technology: By incorporating digital tools, students gain valuable skills in technology and design while adapting a traditional concept to the modern classroom.

By expanding on the traditional blackout poetry approach, educators can elevate the impact of Lent blackout poetry, fostering a richer and more engaging learning experience for students.
