Pre-K to 5th: Show & Tell
Using a handout complete with pictures of objects from the Altar, ask your local priest to invite the kids for an afternoon of hands-on learning. Have each child pick an item to touch, smell, and see close-up while discussing its name and function. Children can approach the Royal Gates to find the item from the handout, and wait on the Solea together to pass it around. At the end, conduct a quiz all together to see who can remember the names of the items!

6th to 12th Grade: Tune In
Select ten songs to burn on a CD that range in genre to include the following: rap, techno, classical, jazz, a Church hymn...and one song to simply be "silence." Using the handout, ask teens to listen to each song as it is played and write down the way it makes them feel using the list of emotions from the handout. Openly discuss how music effects us and our soul - do we become sad, angry, pumped-up, flirty, peaceful... which songs do we feel closest to God, loving to our neighbors, or most influenced by? Which songs do we know the words to as opposed to others?
