During the Month of May, we celebrate the Blessed Mother in the Church. Check out the ideas below for some fresh ways to celebrate Mary in the classroom.
1) Writing and Poetry
May is also National Poetry Month. What better way to celebrate Mary than by writing a poem about her? Check out this resource for writing templates and printables centered around the Blessed Mother. Also makes a beautiful bulletin board display!
2) Celebrate Mary in the Classroom with a May Crowning
Your school may be planning a large May Crowning procession, but you can also have a more intimate celebration within your own classroom. Have children bring flowers from home (or make paper ones) and display them around a statue of the Blessed Virgin in your class’s prayer space. Find more May Crowning ideas HERE.
3) Learn and Practice Marian Prayers
Familiarize students with the prayers, especially those they may not know by heart. Check out the following links for hands-on activities and videos to pray together:
4) Review the Mysteries of the Rosary
This fun matching game helps children master the meaning behind each Mystery of the Rosary. Great for playing in partners, small groups, or even sending home to play with students’ families.
5) Pray the Rosary
One of the best ways to honor Mary during the month of May is by praying the Rosary together. Remind children that we give our intentions to the Holy Mother, asking her to pray to her son, Jesus, for us.
