#1–Catholic Name-It! Game

Be warned, Mom & Dad: it’s the young ones that often can quickly spy the match–and blurt the NAME out first!

“As an Early Childhood teacher, Catechist, and Grandma who loves and loves to play I Spy games, scavenger hunts, and the like with all children, I was thrilled to see Name It! This game teaches so many skills while having lots of fun and learning names for objects”

And as always, this Holy Heroes card game can be played in multiple different ways!

Check out this video that Therese made about all the different ways you can play the Catholic Name-It! Game:

“My 2nd grader is preparing for his First Holy Communion. Part of his education is learning the items used during Mass. This game is PERFECT for him because he is a visual, fast-paced learner. He quickly moved from calling them by their descriptive names (cup, robe, cross), to their actual names (chalice, alb, monstrance).”

#2–The FeastDay! Game

When the Holy Heroes Adventure Guides played this–it was close, but Caroline won on the last roll and question.

The Holy Heroes Dad demanded a rematch…but we will not reveal the outcome…Feast Day! is a totally-Catholic new board game for two or more players or teams that introduces players to colors, symbols, saints, holy days, feast days, and more!

And if you’re looking for an extra challenge, check out the Level 2 Expansion Pack that will help bring your game to the next level!

I was amazed that my 5 and 7-year-old grandchildren knew the answers to most of the questions. Their father needed prompting! This is an excellent way for children as well as adults to learn about the liturgical year!

#3–Holy Heroes Matching Game

NEWLY DESIGNED PACKAGING–Play the Holy Heroes Matching Game with all your favorite Holy Heroes and Glory Stories heroes!

Children play the concentration memory game with these cards, inspiring their imaginations with stories of the saints pictured, the mysteries of the rosary from the images of Our Lord, and the joy of the Faith from the Holy Heroes Answer Kid card!

“This is a great size to carry with you to friends or family homes, or keep easily with your house games. My young kids started to easily recognize the saints in other places after playing this game many times!”

#4–Catholic Words Memory Match card game

For your order kids, instilling a love and reverence for the faith is easy with this fun matching game!

We have many families who use these cards to help kids prepare for 1st Holy Communion by learning the proper names of Catholic objects and sacramentals! Introducing these words will help prepare them to receive the Sacraments and inaugurate a lifelong journey of learning about the wonders of their Catholic faith.

“I bought these on a whim to use in my second-grade catechesis class, sort of as flash cards but my own kids have enjoyed playing with them already!”
