Teaching the Stations of the Cross can be a powerful way to help students reflect on Jesus’ journey to Calvary. Whether you’re a teacher in a Catholic school, a catechist, or a parent leading faith formation, there are many ways to make this devotion meaningful for children. Below are some practical, engaging, and faith-filled Stations of the Cross Activities to use in your lessons. Stations of the Cross Activities for Teachers & Parents You don’t need a big plan to teach the Stations of the Cross effectively! Here are some simple and meaningful ways to bring this devotion to life: 1. Pray the Stations Together Set aside time during Lent or Holy Week to walk through the Stations of the Cross as a class or family. Many parishes offer a prayer service, or you can use a simple booklet to guide your reflection at home or in the classroom. The most important thing is to do it and help kids to see the Stations as an important part of our faith. 2. Stations of the Cross Symbols Sort Activity Get students thinking by asking them to match items to the Stations of the Cross. I like to give the students a pile of creative symbols and items and encourage them to get creative while matching them to the stations. Then, have students explain why they chose each item. I include some obvious symbols, like a small cross, as well as more abstract symbols, such as shells, rocks, string, etc. The more abstract symbols help students think creatively instead of simply matching items.
