THIS IS THE BEST! This website has so many games and lessons to give you a better understanding and make concepts relatable to kids. The games were always a big hit and helped me in explaining Catholic teaching to kids. There are a lot of ads you have to work through but it's WORTH it!

Lesson plans are meant to give a framework for introducing information to youth. Most of these also include reflection questions for small group sharing. These help youth think about how to apply what they have learned to their everyday lives.

Many of these lesson plans also include games, an appropriate prayer, and a challenge for the coming week.

This Road to Emmaus lesson plan focuses on the Gospel story of the Road to Emmaus, where Jesus revealed Himself to two disciples after His resurrection. The object of this lesson is to help youth understand the importance of recognizing Jesus in their daily lives and walking with Him as their Savior and friend. It is designed to help students relate to the story of the Road to Emmaus and find guidance and comfort in their faith.

In this lesson plan, we explore the question, "Where should we go?" We learn about the challenges we face in following Jesus and walking by faith. Through reflection, we discuss the obstacles we encounter and the voices that influence us. The lesson encourages us to hear Jesus' voice and make choices aligned with His teachings. We are challenged to trust in Him, seeking His guidance and forgiveness when we stray. Ultimately, we discover that following Jesus leads to a fulfilling and purposeful life.

The parables of the Pearl of Great Price and the Treasure teach us important lessons about what is truly valuable. Jesus challenges us to think about what matters to us and our Heavenly Father. In our faith, we explore the idea of risking it all to receive something truly valuable from God. This means being willing to let go of worldly desires and trust in God's plan for us.

This lesson plan explores the theme of anxiety and how trust in God can bring peace and freedom. Through engaging activities and discussions, participants will delve into Scripture, reflect on Catholic teachings, and practice gratitude as they learn to have no anxiety and find solace in their faith.

This reflection encourages youth to think about how they need to pay attention to their faith to help it grow.

The Gospel reading from Mark 16:15-20 emphasizes the importance of spreading the message of salvation to everyone, as Jesus commands his disciples to go out and proclaim the good news to every creature. It challenges Catholics to reflect on their responsibility to share their faith with others, and to consider the best way to communicate the message of salvation with those around them.

The purpose of this lesson is to help young people understand the importance of their response, "Amen," when they receive the Body and Blood of Christ. It aims to deepen their appreciation and understanding of the Eucharist, with a special focus on the significance of the Great Amen.

The material covers various themes, including truth, scripture, reverence, care, and reflection. It encourages participants to reflect on their own understanding of the meaning of amen.

This teaching plan is designed for use in youth ministry to assist adolescents in strengthening their faith and understanding of the Eucharist.

This lesson plan has the goal of helping young people understand and reflect on God's love for them through the sacrament of baptism. It includes several activities, such as an opening activity centered around non-verbal love gestures, a scripture reading from Mark 1:7-11, small group reflection questions, a personal letter writing challenge, and a closing prayer.

The lesson plan aims to help youth view themselves as beloved children of God and encourages them to respond to His love in their everyday lives. Additionally, the lesson plan draws on the teachings of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to provide a deeper understanding of the sacrament of baptism and its importance.

Help youth consider why they are at mass. Is their church a place where they meet God? Or is it something else? Do we bring the things and cares of the world into church and let them distract us from God?

Great for icebreakers and to get kids talking to each other. Sometimes I would make them stand up and walk to either side of the room based on their answer and then they had to explain why they chose their option to a partner. I would also share my answer or make them guess. (They want to get to know you too)

There are few ice breakers for youth groups and Bible studies as simple and fun as “this or that” questions, sometimes known as “would you rather?” Living in a world where community is becoming more of a rarity, gathering together to discuss God’s world and enjoy fellowship with other believers is becoming all the more improtant. Like it shares in Hebrews 10:25, “Let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”

Teachers pay Teachers is a great resource where you can find many free activities or larger packs that you have to purchase. They can range in price from a few dollars to much more. I don't tend to purchase anything over 5$ unless I really like it and it has several things I can use.

This is a scoot about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is great for taping around the room and getting the kids up and moving or leaving 1 on each desk and having them "scoot" on your call.

This is a quick matching activity for scripture related to each of the Sacraments. It is great for the question "where does the Bible teach that?" and allows the kids to check their understanding of the Sacraments.

This is a sort, but can be used as a whole group activity or small group activity. I wouldn't suggest having each kiddo complete it, but allow them to work in groups or do it as a class. I hung the 4 words in the 4 corners and read the sentences then had students go stand in the corner they thought was correct. We then talked about why their choice was or was not correct and they were able to laugh at their mistakes.

This is a strategy I use all the time in my classroom. You use either a text or a video to have students make a quick sketch as you read or watch something. The idea is not to make an artistic materpiece but to be able to use a quick sketch to help you stretch your thinking and understanding. This particular activity is for Genesis 1 and the Creation story, but can work for other bible stories or things you want kids to remember.

You will find that most of your kiddos don't know how to read the bible or find chapters and verses. This is a great way to get them digging around to familiarize themselves with how to locate things in their Bibles.

I bought small 30 page journals from Walmart last year and gave one to each student. I purchased colored pens and let them choose a color to keep for their writing. I also got stickers (faith based, sports, flowers, etc.) and let them use markers to decorate the covers. We then practiced the steps of Lectio Divina.

These are the journals...they are 1$ each.
