Thanks to everyone who participated in our poll about Lenten observances for kids.
We’ve managed to compile a great list! Here are the results, just in time for the beginning of Lent:
10. Paper “chain” craft with extra jobs, sacrifices, or activities for each day
9. Alms box or rice bowl to collect money for charity
8. Additional daily prayer (novenas, etc.)
7. Pray the Rosary
6. Additional Masses or adoration
5. Lent Box: kids put away favorite toys or items—open it again at Easter
4. Giving up sweets or other foods
3. Giving up TV, computer, or other media
2. Crown of Thorns or other activity where kids “earn” something for sacrifices
1. Stations of the Cross (here’s an online version for kids)
