Product Description

Sometimes when teaching children an aspect of our Catholic Faith, it is helpful to have a special activity to reinforce the lesson. They need exercises that train the mind or move the heart. For this reason, Catholic teachers and parents will appreciate these one hundred thoughtfully crafted activities drawn from the new universal Catechism of the Catholic Church. The worksheets, memory games, Bible studies, etc. in this book require little preparation or materials and are designed to supplement any catechetical text or program for children in grades 1 through 8. Though simple to use, these exercises uncover some of the depth and richness of Catholic doctrine and practice. Topics of the activities are organized according to the four pillars of the Catechism -- Faith, Sacraments, Morality and Prayer. Each activity is self-contained, perforated to tear out and reproduce for group use. Whether it is memorizing the Creed, understanding the Bible, or learning to pray, these exercises will enrich the faith of children and those who teach them.

Very good worksheets
Love it. So different from many other books and applicable for so many different ages.

highly recomened by a novice volunteer catechist
I teach 8th grade confirmation ccd class. This book has many good activities that can give you filler material or games that can take up to 30min. As a catechist for the first time it really helps me add to my lesson plans and give me a fall back if we have extra time to fill without the children going wild.

wonderful resource
This a a great resource for Religious Education classes. I ordered one and after reviewing it decided to get one for each of our catechists. The book consists mostly of tear out worksheets but many of them, particuluarly in the highr grades, have substantive content (not your usual crosswords and word finds). As a former homeschooler I would highy recommend this for Catholic homeschooling families as well since it covers several grades.
