Hail Mary Prayer

It is recommended that children are introduced to these resources in the sequence that they are provided:  
● the parent or catechist engages the child’s curiosity through the video;  
● the child is given the flashcards to handle and repeat saying the prayer as often as they like;  
● the learning is deepened through fun activities to suit different literacy abilities. 

Video 

● Gives a brief introduction to the prayer and why it is important in the Christian life; 
● Helps the child learn key insights about the faith through each prayer;
● Helps children to memorise and grasp the meaning of the prayer through associating words, images and gestures; 
● The parent or catechist can pause the video to engage the child through questions and answers.  

Flashcards 

● The child can scroll through the flashcards on the screen;
● Flashcards can also be downloaded, printed, laminated and put in a ring so the child can play with them.  

These are recommended for memorising the prayers in a more engaging way. 

Fun activities 

Quiz, worksheets and colouring sheets can be downloaded individually (ideal for parents) or as a whole set (ideal for catechists). They include: 

● Quiz (which is interactive); 
● Fill in the blanks;
● Choose the correct word; 
● Put in the correct sequence;  
● Crossword;
● Matching game; 
● Colouring the correct word; 
● Colouring page.

In other words… there is something for all children… even the youngest! The parent or catechist can adapt according to the child’s learning style and literacy level.
