Holy Trinity Ring Toss- a fun game for little ones




The Holy Trinity File Folder Games (2 Game Boards to choose from)





Directions: The objective of the game is to collect the most tokens by answering questions correctly about the Holy Trinity. Place 2 small baskets or boxes on the table to put question cards in. Put the question cards in one basket (the other basket will be for discards). Set an egg timer for a specified time. Place your marker anywhere on the board. Roll the die and move that many spaces clockwise. If a player lands on a space that says “?”, the player to their right draws a card and reads the question out loud. (If they cannot read, the teacher or someone else can read it for them). On each card is a question about the Holy Trinity. If the player answers correctly, they receive a token (you can use shamrocks, poker chips, milk caps, etc.). If they are not correct, they do not receive a token. If the player lands on “Return 1 Token”, they must return one token. If a player lands on “Take 1 Token” they may take a token from any player they choose. Players must collect as many tokens as they can as they move around the board. Note that the board is set up so you can move around it many times. The game is over when the egg timer goes off. Whoever has the most tokens, wins. Players can also play in teams so they can help each other answer the questions.

Italian Easter Bread is traditionally baked in the shape of a wreath to symbolise the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ at the crucifixion. The three pieces of dough braided together represent the three elements of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The bread is either baked with coloured eggs directly in the dough or with white eggs that can be decorated after baking.

foodandwine.com- The Religious History of Pretzels
The pretzel's legendary origins date back over 1,400 years. While The New York Times reported in 1988 that a fifth-century illuminated manuscript in the Vatican featured what may be the first likeness of a pretzel, most sources date the snack's invention a century later. It was around 610 CE when legend has it that a monk with a twisted sense of humor lived in a secluded monastery in Northern Italy or Southern France. As a reward to his students for learning their prayers, this monk handed out baked pieces of leftover bread twisted together to resemble crossed arms, which was a traditional prayer pose. He called them pretiola, which is Latin for "little rewards." What's more, the three-holed "pretiola," claimed the monk, represented the religious trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Who Has The Fire?

Need: Orange construction paper balled up to be the fire.

Directions: The children sit in a circle close together. The child who is “It” stands away from the circle and hides their eyes while the fire is passed around. When “It” says "STOP!", the child holding the fire hides it (under their leg, up their sleeve, etc.). The child who is “It” guesses who has the fire. The child who had the fire is now “It”.

The Catholic Toolbox- Birth of Jesus to Ascension Cards
Play Memory, Go Fish, or Sequencing with these cards. The cards can also help students establish the content and order of the Matthew, Mark and Luke (synoptic) gospels. Example: Take the gospel of Mark since it's the shortest and ask the students to take the cards and put them in the order which Mark mentions them in his book.

Play the game “Telephone” (use an empty cardboard paper towel roll). Start with today’s memory verse, then let the kids think of other Scriptures to pass around the circle. Talk about how we can share God’s Word with others.

Case of the Missing Person (Jesus Returns to Heaven)- In this game, kids will try to figure out who’s missing from the class. They’ll get an idea of how some people must have felt after Jesus returned to heaven. (The Encyclopedia of Bible Games for Children’s Ministry by Group Publishing, page 104.)





Life of Christ Board Game- Collect tokens by moving around the game board and answering questions about the life of Christ. The player with the most tokens at the end of the game, wins.
