My Lenten Promise Activity

I know that I haven’t had anything special for you all lately. Now that I’m starting my blog on my own domain, I think it’s time to get back on track!! I have something for all of you, my loyal readers and followers.

This is a freebie for Lent. I know we’re now into Holy Week, so there’s not much time left to use this. However, it’s a great activity for the religious classroom or at home with the family. This is a set of journal pages or a writing activity. They come in 2 types of lines for a variety of ages/grades.

You can write your promises on the lines for each aspect of Lent….prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It can be done daily, weekly, or just once during the Lent season.

If you’re interested in this activity, please just click to….

Enjoy!!

40 Days of Lent

I know this is rather last minute, but I have a free printable for you to use at home or in your classroom for Lent.

I’m calling this a color-by-number, but it’s not really that. LOL Once space is colored in for each day of Lent. Certain spaces are specific colors. When completed at the end of Lent, it’ll be a picture that represents Lent/Easter. There is a key so that you know what color each space should be colored.

Ash Wednesday Fun and Learning

Last night’s lesson was all about Ash Wednesday and how it’s the first day of Lent. Advent and Lent are always interesting concepts to teach the kids when it’s all about “waiting” and “preparing”. At their age, they’re just ready for Santa and the Easter Bunny. They soak up the information like sponges!!

Ash Wednesday Craftivity cover

After our discussion about Lent, we focused on Ash Wednesday and did this activity page. Since we attend mass as part of class on Ash Wednesday, it’s important the kids know all about the ashes so they know what to expect. After that, we practiced for mass….several times!! Our final activity was a little craft that I made for the kids. They colored the pictures to look like themselves and then we took black paint and put a cross on the foreheads with their thumb.

If you’re interested in this, just click to….

To see the a few of the final projects, just click here and click here to see how my class did them on Instagram. You don’t have to have an account and it’s worth it because they’re just adorable for being 3-5 years old!!

Ash Wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday and we celebrate as a class by attending mass. Therefore, there won’t be a page for the Bible ABC’s today. Please check back next week for the next letter in our Bible alphabet!!
