How Do I Serve? Card Games

Little cards make learning about servitude big learning fun

As we continue to learn about servitude and how we are all called to be servants of the Lord through serving each other, we created another little game that helps learn about servants in our community.  This is a great resource for use with a 'community workers' unit.  This game allows multiple types of play.  If you print out just one set, you can use it for a concentration style matching graphic with job title, playing "Serve With Love" which is a variation of old maid, or go fish as well.  If you print out two sets you can use it to play a larger game of concentration matching type games.  This resource allows for 1-4 players of the various games.

To use this resource, simply print out the file onto cardstock, cut apart on the lines, and begin using for fun play. 

Tip:  You can also print the file out on regular paper and cut apart and glue to an index card.  You can laminate your finished pieces for durability or longevity.

We hope this helps add fun to your learning day.

New How Do I Serve? Art Narration Cards

New art narration sheets help children discern the value of servitude

When we were little children we often dreamed of what we were going to be when we grew up.  Depending on where you lived and your cultural background, you had a whole slew of ideas that probably changed as you grew older.  Most children are directed to be in careers that provide good incomes, comfort in life, and in some cases, prestige.  But as children of the Lord we know that we are put here to know, love, and serve Him and each other.  Period.  He doesn't specify our careers or how we are to serve except to say as He does in Matthew 25:34-46 that whatever we do for the least of our brothers that which we do for Him.  Today we offer resources that help children think about how each person serves one another through their chosen occupation.

These sheets directly correspond to the How do I Serve? Oversized Monthly Calendar which we shared yesterday.  As you discuss the daily occupation graphic from the calendar you can ask children about the importance of the occupation to the community at large and how that is connected to servitude of the Lord and others.  These sheets are colourful and simple to use for just about any age.  Simply print out the sheet, fill in and finish the picture using the graphic provided as a starting point.  When completed, have the children write about how the person is serving, what is going on in their picture, or reiterate a portion of your family discussion.  Fold in half and glue when completed.  Learners can then share with each other their finished cards.  You could bind all cards on the left with brads, half a file folder, key ring, or a spine of some sort to create a book of their writing and artwork for the month.  These are great for Charlotte Mason style learners beginning to use narration or those who need to show proof of learning in the form of writing samples.

There are three sets in this collection totally 31 different sheets.  We hope these sheets help stimulate some excellent Christian discussions.  Don't forget to look up the Bible verse mentioned above (Matthew 25:34-46) and read it together as a family.  :)

New Resource Based on Servitude - How Do I Serve? Oversized Calendar

New bright oversized monthly wall calendar helps children to think about how that all jobs can serve the Lord.

I was inspired by the Gospel used during daily mass a few weeks ago (Luke 10:1-12) which spoke very clearly about servitude.  "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few."  I was stirred to think about how everyone is called to serve not just the seventy that Christ chose.  I prompted me to think even more about how each person serves the Lord from the place they are at.  Every worker, every parent, every person is called to serve our Lord in some unique way.

Today I offer this new oversized monthly wall calendar.  This is question game style calendar that asks the question daily: " How do I serve?"  Using the daily graphic as a starting point, great little discussions can follow about how each person can serve our Lord through serving each other in their daily occupation.  This set can be used year round with its colourful monthly header as well as the other corresponding decorations.  I have even included two Bible passages that could be discussed when using this resource.



To use this resource, simply print out the pages (cardstock works best), cut apart pieces on the lines, and affix to a large poster template that you can easily make using standard poster-board or a bulletin board.  See HERE for a photo sample of template and template instructions as well as to see our entire collection of interactive calendars.

This resource is the first in a series dedicated to the idea of servitude.  Visit us tomorrow for another corresponding resource.
