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.

Great resource for Religion Teachers....
I taught 5th and 6th grade Religion at Holy Family Cathedral School in Tulsa, OK. This book is wonderful for filling in those times when the students get finished early, or you need to 'stretch out' a lesson.
The book is divided into 3 sections, early, middle, and high school level. While I wish there had been more activities for middle school, the book is worth buying.

Not quite what I thought it was
This is a nice book, but I thought it would be more substantive. I was hoping the book might help me come up with ideas for teaching my religious education class, but found the "activities" consisted mostly in little tear-out worksheets. Especially for the lower grades, the "activities" might be just a little coloring page, for example, that illustrate a lesson you have to come up with yourself. So it's a fine companion to reinforce what you're already teaching, but it won't inspire you to come up with a lesson plan.

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.
