The concept is that the kids are looking for clues during Advent, leading them up to the real meaning of the season, which is to prepare our hearts for Jesus, not to celebrate Christmas starting the day after Thanksgiving. Complete with lots of little hands-on activities, but this could also be adapted to be a take home activity by just using the coloring book, or to a more classroom-friendly activity by using the coloring book as a group and looking up all of the scripture references.

This is a learning game based on informative trivia questions for each of the liturgical (Church) seasons. If players start on the Advent season, the start of the Church year, and progress around the board, they can in effect “play” their way through the year. There are question cards for each season along with bonus FeastDay! cards explaining about feasts and devotions.

shop.go2branches.com - Liturgical Year Board Game
Children learn best through fun experiences, and the Liturgical Year Board Game provides both: it's an exciting game that teaches about the Catholic year in an engaging way that doesn't feel like learning. The Liturgical Year Board Game is perfect for parents and relatives, Catholic school teachers, catechists and DREs of children in 3rd through 6th grade, and middle or high school youth ministers.

Sitting Duck!- Answer questions about the liturgical year as you make your way around the board. Be careful for the "Sitting Duck!" space or you might have to go all the way back to START.

Seasons of the Liturgical Year- This game is based on the Feast Day! and can be played individually or in teams. The object of the game is to collect tokens by moving around the game board by answering questions about feast days as well as important facts about the teachings of the Church that are woven through the Liturgical Year. The player with the most tokens at the end of the game, wins.

smp.org- The Liturgical Calendar
Part 1: Write the names of the liturgical seasons and the months in which they occur in the appropriate spaces on the liturgical calendar. You may refer to part 2 for a list of the names. Also color in (or legibly print the name of) the liturgical color associated with each section of the calendar. Part 2: Write a brief description of each liturgical season, liturgical celebration, or both, and place them in their proper order by numbering each, beginning with Advent as “1.” One liturgical time occurs twice on the calendar and will, therefore, have two numbers associated with it.

smp.org- Liturgical Year Match
Column 1 lists the holy days of obligation and several other feast days of the Liturgical Year. Column 2 lists the dates on which those feasts are celebrated. The task of each group is to match the holy day or feast day with its date, and then to list the days and dates in the order of the Liturgical Year in column 3.

This game is based on the game Feast Day!

*You can play this game individually or in teams.


Object: Collect tokens by moving around the game board and answering questions about the Church’s liturgical season. The player with the most tokens at the end of the game, wins.


Materials Needed:

Game Board
Game markers
1 die
Tokens
300 Question Cards: 30 Advent, 20 Christmas, 60 Lent, 20 Triduum, 50 Easter, 120 Ordinary Time (store in individual Ziploc bags when not in use)

*Playing pieces can be coins, colored buttons, game pieces from other games, fish rocks for the bottom of aquariums, craft foam cut into shapes, glass rocks for vases, etc. You can paint small objects such as rocks, small plastic tops or caps, etc. You can also buy pawns at game stores.


How To Play:

1. Sort the Question Cards into 6 stacks: Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Triduum, and Easter. Place the cards question side down in small baskets near the game board.
2. Players select a game marker and place it on the Christ the King space located before the season of Advent.
3. Each player rolls the die and the player with the lowest number goes first.
4. Players take turns rolling the die and moving clockwise the number of spaces on the die. 5. The spaces on the board are colored to reflect the liturgical seasons: Advent (violet), Christmas (white), Ordinary Time (green), Lent (violet), Triduum (red), and Easter (white). Once a player lands on a space, the player to their right draws a card from the matching season card pile and asks the player a question about feast days as well as important facts about the teachings of the Church that are woven through the liturgical year.
6. It the player answers correctly, they receive a token. All cards must be returned to the bottom of the stack after use.
7. If the player answers incorrectly, they do not receive a token and roll the die on their next turn.
8. If a player rolls a 6 with one die or 6 with a combination of dice (2) they may take a token from any player they choose.


Optional Game Play:

• Use dice (2) to make travel through the board game faster.
• When a player answers correctly, they can slide to the next season and wait for their next turn.

How to Win:

1. The first player who travels through the entire game board and lands on the Christ the King space (you do not have to roll the exact number) chooses the season which they would like to answer a question.
2. If an incorrect answer is given, the player remains on the Christ the King space and will have another chance on their next turn.
3. If a correct answer is given, they receive a token. The game ends and all the players count their tokens.
4. The player with the most tokens wins the game.


Preparation:

Directions- Print out Directions.

Game Board- Print out Game Board, trim, assemble, and glue on a piece of cardboard. Laminate or cover Game Board with clear contact paper to make it last.

Tokens- Use these Tokens or make your own. Print out several pages of Tokens on card stock. Cut out Tokens. Laminate or cover with clear contact paper to make them last.

Question Cards- Use these cards or make your own. Print out Question Cards. Be sure to print the corresponding liturgical season on the back of each card. Use only the cards that reflect your student’s abilities. Laminate or cover with clear contact paper to make them last.


*Use the Question Cards that are provided or make your own. You can also make cards specific to what you have been learning in your classroom. You can even have the students make cards for the opposing team. There are 300 Question Cards posted for you to choose from. Note: Please take in consideration that I am just a Mom and I'm providing these question cards to the best of my abilities. I tried to make them as accurate as possible, but I know I probably made a few mistakes and it was not intentional.

Thank you God Game

This is a memory game. Have the players seated in a circle. The first player begins by saying, "Thank you God for . . ." He can say anything he likes, for example an orange, a pair of shoes, a camel, or a pet dog. The next player in line begins the same way but adds a second object after repeating the first. The third player also begins, "Thank you God for . . ." He must repeat the first two objects and then add a third. So it goes on, but if a player can’t repeat or mixes up the order of the objects then he is out.

If you haven't got many players, the same children can keep adding more items. The game continues until one player remains or until time is up. Some lists get very long and are remembered for years by the players. A variation is to decide that the objects chosen must start with the letters of the alphabet in order, for example "apple, bat, cake...zebra." This makes it a little easier to remember. (You could also help the player if necessary so everyone can play).

yumpu.com- Fill Your Seder Plate Board Game
Have you ever experienced a Passover Seder? For many, Seder meals are not a common part of their typical Holy Week traditions. To help children understand what was eaten during this meal, here is a game that reviews the traditional food of the Seder meal.


Musical Chairs

Introduce game: Who ate with Jesus at the Last Supper? His disciples. Let’s see if there are enough chairs for everyone to sit. (Play Musical Chairs)

Line up alternate facing chairs, one less than the number of children playing. (Example: If there are 10 players, place 9 chairs). The players move round the chairs while the music is on. When the music stops they have to sit down on a free chair. The player without a chair is out and let that player be the one to stop the music the next time. Remove one chair each time the music is played. Repeat until you have only 2 players and 1 chair. The one to sit down first on the last chair is the winner.

Reproduction or retransmission of any materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, is not permitted.

Last Supper File Folder Game- Play individually or in teams and work your way around the game board answering questions about the Last Supper. If you are correct you roll a die and move your marker in your row in any direction you want. If you land on a colored space, you can move one row toward the center with “Last Supper”. Play continues until a team or player reaches “Last Supper”.

From Google AI Mode

Questions about the preparation of the Passover (Mark 14:12–16)
• How does Jesus' foreknowledge affirm his divinity? In this passage, Jesus gives very specific instructions to his disciples to find the room for the Passover. This ability to see the future and orchestrate events—including his own impending betrayal—reinforces the Catholic understanding of his divine sovereignty.

• What is the connection between the Old Covenant Passover and the New Covenant Eucharist? The Last Supper was a Passover meal, marking the transition from the old covenant to the new. The Passover commemorated the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. How does the Eucharist fulfill and transform this tradition by signifying our deliverance from sin through Christ's sacrifice?

• How can we better prepare ourselves for the Eucharist? In the passage, the disciples are told to prepare the Passover meal. In Catholic theology, this inspires the question of how we prepare our hearts and minds for Mass. Do we take the time to quiet our thoughts and reflect on the sanctity of the ritual?


Questions about the institution of the Eucharist (Mark 14:22–26)
• How can we accept Jesus' words "This is my body" and "This is my blood" literally? This is a central question for Catholics. The Church teaches the doctrine of transubstantiation, that the consecrated bread and wine actually become the substance of the body and blood of Christ, though the outward appearance remains the same. How does faith allow us to accept this mystery, despite the arguments against a literal interpretation?

• How is the Eucharist a re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on the cross? The Catholic Church teaches that the Mass is a re-presentation, or making present again, of Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. It is not a new sacrifice but the same one made present across time and space. How does this belief help us understand the singular, eternal nature of Christ's offering?

• What is the "real presence" and why does it require adoration? For Catholics, Jesus is truly present—body, blood, soul, and divinity—in the Eucharist. This belief is why the consecrated host is revered and adored outside of Mass. What does this deep spiritual and physical union with Christ in the sacrament do for the soul?

• What does it mean that Christ's blood is shed "for many"? Some interpretations question if the word "many" excludes some people from salvation. Catholic understanding, however, reads this as a "Semitism" meaning "for all," or designating the group that will benefit from Christ's sacrifice, which is ultimately available to everyone.

• How is our communion with Christ connected to our communion with each other? By receiving the Eucharist, the community of believers becomes one body in Christ. How does receiving Christ, especially alongside those we may dislike or struggle with, challenge us to live out the meaning of Christian charity and unity?

• What does it mean to receive the Eucharist "in an unworthy manner"? Paul addresses this in his letter to the Corinthians, which discusses the Last Supper. Paul is not speaking about being without sin (since communion is for sinners) but about a failure to recognize the full significance of the Eucharist and the Body of Christ, which includes all believers. How does this understanding prompt us to examine our relationships with others in the Church?
