A great craftivity for your students to complete as a lasting memory of their First Communion. The craft is made with 3 squares: My - containing graphics for boys and for girls (4 to choose from) First - containing religious graphics - bible, candle, dove, church, etc. (6 options to choose from) Communion - containing a chalice and host (1 option) I have included step-by-step directions and visuals to help you create these banners. I have also provided a template for students to write about their First Communion and then glue to the back of the banner. All students require are scissors, coloring pencils and glue. You need to have ribbon for each student and a hoop to hang the banner. I buy bracelets at the dollar store. They come 4 or more in a pack for $1. And, they are large enough to fit around most door knobs so the students can hang their banner on their bedroom door. I use 1 1/2" ribbon, approximately 24" long. You do need to cut 6 squares (4 x 4) ahead of time for students. This should be heavy cardstock. Or, bring the heavy cardstock to class and have your students cut those squares. All other templates are included in the package, all you have to do is photocopy.
