Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Reproducible Sheets for Home and School

Few Easter activity books focus on more than bunnies and candy. Even fewer focus on the season through a specifically Catholic viewpoint. This imaginative new book takes kids on a journey from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost, engaging them at every point through fun activities while introducing and reinforcing the richness of their heritage.

This lively new work--
· uses such proven favorites as word finds, word scrambles, dot-to-dot pictures, matching, crosswords, code breakers, and more.
· challenges and satisfies kids from second through fifth grade.
· includes over two dozen activities plus an answer key.
· offers the best-loved prayers and devotions of the season.
· provides busy parents, teachers, and home-schoolers with a moment of quiet time while their children are fully involved, learning.
· can be reproduced for a variety of home, school, and church uses.

This review is from: My Catholic Lent and Easter Activity Book: Reproducible Sheets for Home and School (Paperback)

If you're looking for something different to do with your kids at Easter, this is the book to get. Go beyond the chocolate eggs and stuffed bunnies -- Ms. Galvin's book has lots of great lessons and fun drawings that really capture the essence of the season yet make it fun for kids. She has a whimsical, earthy style to her book that speaks to a child's level yet is approachable for all ages. My kids really enjoyed it!

My kids love this book! (They're 8 & 6, but I think kids a little older and a little younger would still enjoy this book.) The illustrations are ADORABLE, the activities are quite varied, and those two things combined keep my kids coming back to this book time and time again. I hope they come out with a Christmas one!

This review is from: My Catholic Lent and Easter Activity Book: Reproducible Sheets for Home and School (Paperback)

Teaching 2nd grade CCD classes can be a challenge when the textbook material just isn't enough to keep the kids engaged for 75 minutes. Ms. Galvin's books (and I do have all of them) are one of the few "outside" materials I've been given permission by my Director of Religious Education to use. Her research is solid, her artwork appeals to my students, and the activities appeal to a wide range of interests and abilities. (I've used them with students in grades 1-5 when I've taught combined classes, and there is something there for everyone.) I've recommended them many times over and will continue to do so!
