Get-Out-and-Celebrate Commercials

To describe the image of the vine and the branches

The children will express their understanding of Jesus' imagery of the vine and branches.

• Colored paper
• Poster paper
• Markers and crayons

• Invite the children to share what they know about the Communion of Saints and Jesus' story of the vine and its branches.
• Share with the children how they can stay in contact with Jesus and the Church by celebrating the lives of those who model saintly behavior.
• Gather the children into groups of four and ask them to create a commercial or advertisement that encourages others to celebrate All Saints and All Souls Day.
• Encourage the groups to think of saints or people in their lives who live as Jesus wants us to.
• For groups that choose to create advertisements, provide them with poster paper and coloring materials.
• When the groups have finished, invite them to share their commercials or advertisements with the entire group.
