All Saints Day is around the corner. As parents and teachers, it is so important that you continue sharing saint stories with your kids. Introduce the saints as heroes and friends who are there to help your kids on their journey through life.

"What we allow our kids to watch often determines who their heroes will be."

All Saints Day is a great opportunity to create an environment of encounter for our kids. We don't have to walk this journey of faith alone, so let us follow in the footsteps of our Heavenly friends who desire nothing more than to lead us ever closer to Christ.

Dancing with the Saints Game

The saints loved to celebrate and praise God! They had a lot of zeal for their faith and it got them excited. I’m sure sometimes they even started to dance because they were so joyful! In this game, we’re going to praise God and imagine that we’re dancing with the saints.

You’ll Need:

Activity:

Print the game sheets and scatter them in the games area.
When the music starts, do your best dance moves around the circle.
As soon as the music stops, dance over to a saint and freeze there until a leader calls out one of the saint names: “Who is dancing near Saint John Bosco?”
The kids who are standing closest to St. John Bosco are the winners! (They can each get a small prize.)
When the music starts again, keep dancing until the leader calls out another saint.
