thatresourecsite.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.

thatresourcesite.com- Parts of Mass Game: Help those learning about or new to the Catholic Faith to better participate in the Holy Mass with this game that teaches about the parts and order of the Mass. Cut apart pieces of Mass prayers and parts of the Mass and reorder. Play by either ordering sayings chronologically or matching sayings to parts of mass. This is a great class game for CCD or Religious Education as well. (Scroll down to this.)
