Blessings

To identify sacraments as blessings we receive from God

The children will be able to name and describe each of the seven sacraments.

• Poster-size blank paper
• Markers, crayons, and colored pencils

• Remind the children that the sacraments are blessings (favors or good things) we receive from God. Tell them that they are going to do an activity regarding the sacraments.
• Invite the children to pair off.
• Explain that each pair will choose a different sacrament to illustrate.
• Distribute the art supplies.
• Instruct the children to create posters that illustrate the sacraments as blessings from God.
• Invite the pairs to present their posters to the group and explain their illustrations.

Art/Space Smart

Circulate among the pairs as they work, providing encouragement and ideas for illustrations, if necessary.
