New Mass Responses Booklet for Kids- Free to Print!

As I'm sure you all know, beginning on the first Sunday of Advent (2011) we will all begin using the third edition of the Roman Missal, so mass responses are going to change a little. Most of us are going to need to read along for awhile- let's face it- old habits die hard and many of us have been saying to same responses every Sunday for our entire lives. It's time to re-program our brains.

There are several printable resources of the new mass, but I couldn't find one that was just for kids... so I made one. :-)

This is not a complete child's new mass missal- it just has the parts of the mass that have changed, and it's based on cycle B since that's the year we're moving into.You're all welcome to print it for free!

This free, printable, new version of the mass for kids is available as a pdf. The pdf is 6 pages long, but the booklet is meant to be printed on 2 sides of the paper, so it's actually printed on just 3 sheets of paper. Here's how you print it:

Print page 1, then print page 2 on the back.
Print page 3, then print page 4 on the back.
Print page 5, then print page 6 on the back.

Once you have all 3 papers printed front and back, fold them in half. The individual half-pages have page numbers on them, so that will help you put them together in order. Crease the folds nicely, and staple together. That's it!

I really enjoyed putting this together, and I hope you find it useful! I know my children and I will enjoy using these instead of those pew cards. They're just a little more fun and child friendly.

Saintly Soda for All Saints' Day

I just got finished making some labels for the All Saints' Day party we're going to this weekend, and I wanted to share them with you! It's a knock off of Dr. Pepper. Check it out!

Dr. Gianna's Saintly Soda

Before I go on, I just wanted to check and make sure... you guys knew that Saint Gianna was a doctor, right? Good! Just wanted to be on the safe side and state the obvious there. :-)

I made 2 different label sizes. One label goes around a 2 liter bottle of soda.

The other set of labels prints 3 to a page, and they go around the small cans of Dr. Pepper. The size of cans I used were the 7.5 FL OZ, and I got them at Wegman's. These are smaller than standard coke cans, but pretty common to find.

You may as well buy off brand for the 2 liter bottle, because you're going to cover the label anyway, so who will ever know? I got "Dr. W's", also available at Wegman's. ;-)

I'm really excited about this "Saintly Soda"! I think it will be a hit at our All Saints' Day party because all of my friends really love Saint Gianna (including me).

Just print the labels, cut, and tape them on.

I'm working on some more labels for Saintly food right now, so hopefully I'll post those for ya'll tomorrow. I'm so excited that All Saints' Day is almost here! :-)

Printable All Saints' Day Games

Last year I posted some game ideas for All Saints Day parties, but most of them were for bigger parties. Today I wanted to feature some saintly games that can be useful for smaller crowds, classrooms, or even just fun this week for at home!

First up, Guess Who: Saint Edition! What a great idea! This game comes from Arma Dei, and they have tons of great stuff for Catholic kids. Over at Arma Dei, find the FREE printable templates to convert your Guess Who game into Saintly Guess Who! If you have an older version of Guess Who (because you shop at yard sales like me) you can find a free printable template to fit your older game here, and yet another here. I think this game is just too cute!

 

 Also, check out this Saint Syllable Bingo from That Resource Site.

You can teach little ones about the saints and about their syllables

at the same time.You can print this for free!

 

Check out this free printable Saint Bingo Game from Catholic Mom.

Perfect for an All Saints' Day Party!

I almost forgot! Check out this Saint matching game on The Homeschool Classroom!

They made this game using stickers, but you could easily print the pictures

for the Guess who game or bingo and do the same thing.

 Hope these printable Saint games help you out this year! More All Saints' Day ideas to come soon! :-)
