My beloved can tell you how much this has bugged me all Lent, it’s been keeping me awak actually, lol. I’ve been stirring because I felt like my kids weren’t really ready for Holy Week and the Crucifixion and, of course, Easter! Yes, we’ve been doing things all during Lent but I felt like now that they are almost 5 and 6, they needed something more.
So I put this together (it took me some time to get it all together) for our classroom! I am so proud of my kids because they were so into our lesson as we talked about the days of the week and our Holy Week Journey to Easter Sunday! I really enjoyed making this and also loved its simplicity!
Here are some pictures of what it looks like:
- Print all of these out on card stock. {this will get you to the free link} If you don’t have cardstock, like me, then I would recommend that you laminate, I would recommend you do that so that you can save it to use in the future.
- Create a path, road, or something to that effect on a large paper to post in the room. Another option is to print these small and to make a file folder out of them and have each kid make their own to take home {more for CCD or school settings}
- Glue/tape the days of the week down first at the top of your path/road.
- As each day passes, read the Readings for that day and talk about these stories by using the events cards.
- I placed stations at the bottom. You can purchase these here: http://www.catholicartworks.com/
- The little kids walking the path are from http://www.thatresourcesite.com/

WOW! This looks great and it is a great visual for Holy Week leading up to Easter! Thank you for sharing such a meaningful activity on NOBH ! God bless and may you have a blessed Easter! BTW, I grabbed your button and it is on my left side bar in the blog scroll! 🙂
Thank you so much for this! We made this last year, but somehow have lost the printables. Will you make them available again?
Thank you, Holly
Yes @Holly, they are still there: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B999pjr092c-NjFhNGUwMjgtZTA5Ni00MWVhLTljMWMtOTRiNTg5NjE5MWEx/edit?hl=en&authkey=CPSkkqgM
I'd love to access these, but am getting an error message. I've tried several different days, by clicking on the link in the above activity descripton and also by cutting and pasting the web address you posted in this response – I get an error message each time. Do you have suggestions for what I can do to access them? Thanks!
I, too, cannot access your printable and would love to do so, Thanks!
I would also like to make this for my Catholic school classroom but can't access the link. Is it still available?
@Martianne, would you try again? I made it public instead of whomever with a link. 🙂
@Anonymous, would you try again? I just made it public instead of "whomever with a link" and this should make it easier to access it?
