How To: Good Friday with Kids [18-page download & video]

The Good Friday Gospel Reading is looooong and it can be difficult for young kids to pay attention.

To help kids pay attention to the entire Gospel (and actually understand what is happening in the Good Friday service), we have created a 18 page coloring download.

Download and print this off so you can focus on uniting yourself to the Passion of our Lord without having to worry about your kids this Good Friday Service. And since the Gospel the same every Good Friday, you can reuse this download for years!

Psst–moms, are you looking for more Triduum tips? Make sure you listen to this week’s podcast:

In addition to our Good Friday Gospel coloring download, we created a read-aloud video!

Using the audio from our Mass Prep Sunday Gospel video, we overlayed our Good Friday Gospel coloring download as an engaging way to share the Passion of Jesus according to John.

This is a great resource to prep kids for your parish’s Good Friday Service so they know what to expect. Watch before you go!
