Draw And Tell Saints

With only a large sheet of paper (or a dry - erase board, chalkboard, or overhead projector), a marker, and Draw and Tell Saints, you can easily share with your students - or your children or grandchildren - the fascinating and inspiring stories of the Church’s holy ones.

Youngsters respond best - and remember more - when you capture their attention ... and keep it. Now, as never before that’s getting harder and harder to do in our high-tech world.

Draw and Tell Saints is a memorable way to share the ama2ing lives of these holy men and women! As you read a story about a saint (or a blessed), you draw a line, put in a sqpiggle. add a swirl. (The book tells you when!) By the end of the tale, your final picture shows a symbol of that person.

• No artistic talent is needed. (Really!)
• This active learning approach is ideal for children K-6.
• The wording is easily adaptable to the age of the listeners. And the picture is so simple, your students can focus on the lesson, not the illustration.

Younger children have fun guessing what that final symbol will be. Older ones enjoy drawing along with the storyteller/illustrator. Children of every age will receive clear, solid, Catholic religious education.
