Mass Sorting Cards & FREE October Bulletins

Order of the Mass Sorting Cards

Mass Sorting cards can be a fantastic hands-on and interactive tool to teach about the order of events in Catholic Mass. By engaging students in this way, you’ll help them understand and remember the sequence of the Mass more effectively. These Mass Order sorting cards are one of the most popular resources on my TPT page. If you teach younger students, try these sequencing cards that focus on key moments in the match (and match the Catholic Kids Bulletins that they are used to)!

Here are some ideas of how you can use these in your classroom.

1. Chronological Sorting

Mix up the Catholic Mass Sorting Cards and have the students work together or individually to place them in the correct chronological order. As they do this activity, encourage discussions about the significance and purpose of each part of the Mass.

2. Skit Sequencing

Divide the students into small groups and assign each group a specific part of the Mass by passing out the Catholic Mass Sorting Cards (e.g., the Gospel reading, the offertory). In a fun role-playing exercise, have the groups act out their part of the Mass. For a bigger challenge, give them a series of cards and they can act out the cards in the correct order. This activity adds an interactive as well as an engaging element to their learning experience.

3. Matching Pictures and Descriptions

Pass out the notes pages that are included with the Catholic Mass Sorting Cards then have students fill out the notes portion with pictures depicting different parts of the Mass. After they are completed, students can cut their notes apart. Then, they can challenge other students to match the pictures with the corresponding descriptions, explaining why each image represents that specific part of the Mass. This activity will reinforce their understanding of the order of events and help them make connections between visuals and liturgical actions.

4. Test Their Knowledge

Instead of providing the students with pre-labeled sorting cards, give them blank cards and ask them to draw or write about the different parts of the Mass from memory. Then, gather the class together for a group discussion, allowing each student to share their cards and explain their reasoning behind the sequence they created. Use the Catholic Mass Sorting Cards to identify if they have missed any part of the Mass. This reflective exercise encourages critical thinking as well as helps students internalize the order of events.
