Lent Planner Instructions 

Here are some ideas that will help you plan for Lent this year. Feel free to come up with your own ideas.  

Praying :

For example: 

1. Say Grace as a family before supper. 
2. You can thank God in prayer for one thing that happened that day before going to bed as a family. Creating a prayer journal of gratitude can also be a similar option.
3. Pray a decade of the rosary everyday, as a family.
4. Reading a children’s bible story every night. 
   

 Fasting:

1. You can make a sacrifice and give up something that you enjoy doing, ex: playing video games or using a certain social media platform.
2. You can give up something that you like to eat, such as chips, candies, or chocolate.
   

Almsgiving/Service

1. Children can take on tasks to be done around the house. Taking on tasks they do not usually do that is age appropriate (I.e rendering a service to the family e.g. picking up toys, setting the table for dinner, making their bed etc.).
2. Render a service to an elderly family member e.g. Calling a grandparent once a week.
3. Make a donation for non-perishable food items to the Food Bank at church.

"Walk with Jesus" this Lent by marking the days until Easter, colouring each day as it passes.

Additionally, you could also mark each day with ways in which you are preparing your hearts for Jesus' death and resurrection. For Example, they can draw a cross each day they say an extra prayer or go to mass. They could draw a heart each day they perform an act of kindness or make a sacrifice.
