Reproducible Sheets for Home and School

Few Easter activity books focus on more than bunnies and candy. Even fewer focus on the season through a specifically Catholic viewpoint. This imaginative new book takes kids on a journey from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost, engaging them at every point through fun activities while introducing and reinforcing the richness of their heritage.

This lively new work--
· uses such proven favorites as word finds, word scrambles, dot-to-dot pictures, matching, crosswords, code breakers, and more.
· challenges and satisfies kids from second through fifth grade.
· includes over two dozen activities plus an answer key.
· offers the best-loved prayers and devotions of the season.
· provides busy parents, teachers, and home-schoolers with a moment of quiet time while their children are fully involved, learning.
· can be reproduced for a variety of home, school, and church uses.

Review from a 4th Grade CCD Teacher
This book seems to be perfect for helping my 4th grade CCD class understand more about the Lenten season and, particularly, Easter. I'm afraid this is only based on a perusal of the book since Lent of 2008 doesn't begin until February.

Another great resource from Jen Galvin!
Ms. Galvin knows what appeals to the younger set in terms of interesting religious ed materials. If you're a religious education director looking for something other than the same-old, same-old, give Galvin's Catholic Lent and Easter Activity Book at try, along with her other titles. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Great Resource!
Teaching 2nd grade CCD classes can be a challenge when the textbook material just isn't enough to keep the kids engaged for 75 minutes. Ms. Galvin's books (and I do have all of them) are one of the few "outside" materials I've been given permission by my Director of Religious Education to use. Her research is solid, her artwork appeals to my students, and the activities appeal to a wide range of interests and abilities. (I've used them with students in grades 1-5 when I've taught combined classes, and there is something there for everyone.) I've recommended them many times over and will continue to do so!
