Lenten Prayer and Sacrifice Card Set
This is such a beautiful idea for Lent to help kids remember to pray and sacrifice for others. The set includes 40 cards with sacred art. The idea is that each day of Lent, you choose a person to pray for and/or make sacrifices for. Then, you write them a card to let them know that you prayed and sacrificed them on that particular day of Lent. Our family plans to make a list of people for the 40 days. Then, each child will take turns writing and mailing the cards for each person.

Free Lent and Easter Calendar
Every set of 40 cards comes with a free Lent and Easter calendar (you can also purchase sets of these). We will be keeping track of our daily prayers and sacrifices to send out our cards. We can write the name of the person on each day on the calendar.
Stations of the Cross Posters
If you are looking for some nice Lent decor for your classroom, I recommend these Stations of the Cross posters. These posters match the pictures in their Stations of the Cross booklets. Holy Heroes also offers bundles of the posters, booklets, and a guided Stations of the Cross audio CD. We listen and pray with the CD every year in our home when we pray the Stations.
Free Lenten Adventure
We have signed up for the free Lenten Adventure in the past and loved it! I highly recommend this for families where the parents did not grow up observing the Liturgical seasons at home (like me!). Authentically living the Church seasons at home is one of the most important things we, as Catholic parents, can do to pass on the Faith to our kids.
The Lenten Adventure always has solid catechesis for kids to understand the different elements of Lent, and includes prayers and many other resources. They also offer Lenten Adventure Activity Books in case you would like to have the handouts on hand for each child to participate (rather than printing them off for free). Parishes, schools and co-ops can also request a quote to purchase these books in bulk and save money.
Make Your Own Paschal Candle Kit
This would be a great Lenten activity to do as a family. The kit comes with a beeswax candle and embellishments to make your own Paschal candle. Use this as a catechesis moment, and be sure to point out your parish’s Paschal candle which will be replaced on the Easter vigil. You will need a bit of glue, but everything else is included in the kit.
