Lent gives us 40 days of opportunities to grow closer to Christ. As you are planning for the upcoming season, here are some ideas for you to use in your home or classroom. This round up post contains music, videos, art projects, or coloring pages, click on the images below to go to the original posts. If you are already thinking ahead to Easter, check out this post or the list under The Church Year tab.
Lent Looks Different- Ideas for Classroom and home decoration during Lent:
Lenten Visio Divina using classic art, including printable art and a Visio Divina guide:
Lent- Pray, Fast, Give Activity
Lent- Pray, Fast, Give Coloring Pages
Lenten Prayer Challenge Board (Perfect for self guided prayer with choice for older kids)
The Sound of Lent: A Song Playlist (my personal go-to music during Lent, but great for a classroom as well)
Books for Lent for Kids and Adults here and here and in this overall list:
Sunset & Shadow Stations of the Cross Project (one of my students' annual favorites!)
The Gospel in an Eggshell (Object lesson connecting Advent, Lent, & Easter)
Lent Word Cloud Notes (print mine or use as an example to have students make their own)
Give Up, Take Up (Lent goals printable and ideas for Youth Group lesson)
I don't have a link for this one, but we will have a sacrifice crown of thorns in my classroom. It's a simple grapevine wreath with large brown toothpicks. When the students make a sacrifice, they can pull a thorn from the crowns and place it in the bowl.
Student created Lenten Acts of Mercy organized by the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
(It's a great time of year to teach about the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Find printable coloring pages and mini books here and here.)
Using the Stations of the Cross as Inspiration for Lenten acts of charity
