thatresourcesite.com- Church Tour Worksheet: Take your child on the tour of your church. It can easily be arranged with your sacristan or priest. Many CCD, Religious Ed. programs offer this once a year to children as well. Print out this sheet. As you go on your tour, mark the things you see on the way. This works especially well with a clipboard and pencil. Feedback from my CCD students was quite positive and they felt like they were on a treasure hunt while they did this activity on our tour. BTW - Don't forget to ask to see the bell tower if you have one. It's always a favorite with the children. (Scroll down to this.)

thatresourcesite.com- Parts and Tools of the Catholic Church: Easily used over and over once prepared, this game is fun and simple to use. Players match word cards with corresponding picture cards. This is great for one-on-one learning or perfect in the classroom for CCD or Religious Education classes. It is amazing how having words and pictures together in a group of children builds teamwork and memory skills at the same time. This junior version uses a few simplified names to help young learners remember not only an item's name but also what the item is used for (i.e. holy water pot and sprinkler vs. aspergillum.) We created these sets to teach not only item's names but also to give them meaning. Even adults new to the Catholic faith can find it useful. (Color and B/W). *You can print it out in black and white for the children to color.
