Planning Saint Isidore's Feast Day

To teach the children the importance of a feast day

The children will be able to identify Saint Isidore as someone who cared for God's creation.

• Tell the children that they are in charge of planning Saint Isidore's Feast Day.
• Divide the group into four smaller groups. Assign each group one of these topics: food, pets, place, and party favors.
• Each group must discuss their topic and what they would bring and why to the feast day.
• Give the children five minutes to discuss their answers.
• Then invite each group to present their answers to the class.

People Smart

You may have to help each group brainstorm ideas about their topic.

Tell the children to keep their answers related to the times when Saint Isidore lived (no modern-day answers).

At presentation time, make sure each group member who wishes to share has the opportunity.
