March 9, 2022 – Lent for Kids

How do you do Lent for Kids? Today we will be talking about it! 

Lent should be introduced to kids in a way to better understand what this holy season is about. Below are some ideas on ways to celebrate Lent with Kids!

Intentional Prayer: 

One of the things that we discussed early on in lent was praying. This is a simple practice that you can do with your children. Rather than reciting the same blessing at dinner or night prayer – ask your kids who your family should pray for and then pray for those people. 

Encourage Your Kids to Ask Questions: 

Probing with questions often leads kids to ask more questions. I don’t know about your kids, but any child I am around have NO problem the asking questions thing! Thank goodness for Google! 

Do a family devotional:

Celebrate Meat-free Days:

Abstinence from meat one day a week is universal act of penitence. Pick a day, as a child we did the Catholic tradition of no meat on Fridays. Rather than forcing kids to give something up for 40 days, doing meat-free days once a week allows you to participate in a Lent abstinence activity
