As regular readers know, I created t15 game challenges to be used in conjunction with the saint images, prayers and facts found in Prayers to My Favorite Saints (St. Joseph Picture Books), a beautiful, inexpensive softcover book that typically sells for $1.50 or less. However, each game can be used on its own, too. ON All Saints Day, a particular saint's feast day, or, really, any day, simply print out the FREE PRINTABLE challenge sheets, gather minimal supplies, and you'll be good to go!
Knock Out Sin like St. Rose of Lima
The set up for this game was easy. I simply printed out labeled images of the seven deadly sins, taped them to pins four Silly 6 Pins game, put a ball down, and posted the challenge sheet nearby. Then, children enjoyed taking turns knocking the sins down!
If you do not have Silly 6 Pins, any kids' bowling set, or even recycled water or soda bottles would work.
The game makes a great one for visual, auditory, vestibular and proprioceptive senses with the eye-hand coordination it takes to bowl, the sound of pins hitting the ground, and all the bending to to roll the ball and to pick up pins.
Put God in the Center of Your Heart like St. Augustine
Based on another classic game, this one challenged children to use heir eye-hand coordination.
Set up was simply a ring toss game placed on the center of a heart cut out of construction paper with a challenge sheet nearby.
I failed to get any pictures of this game last year, but since we repeated it this year, I have one!
Set up is a basketball net, a few fake roses and a posted challenge sheet. Then, children toss the roses to get baskets.Or, if you do not have a net, simply use a chair to stand on, a few fake roses, and a basket (or bowl) to drop the roses into.
Either way, children enjoy getting the roses to hit their mark.
In fact, all three of these skill-based challenges were popular with our group. I hope you enjoy them at some point, too.
