Kid-created Digital Stations of the Cross to Share with Your Students

Digital Stations of the Cross

From Catechist.com, here’s a project  you might want to share with your class and bookmark to try next year with your own students:

Each child was assigned a Station. He or she had to draw a picture of the Station and write a prayer or reflection for it. Two sessions were dedicated to this activity. Each fifth-grade classroom had all the tools and materials necessary for the project.

The students were directed to follow a format. Their work should include a drawing of the Station, the title of the Station, the number of the Station, and their name. After completing their drawings, students were given another sheet of paper on which to write their prayers or reflections.

The beautiful hand-drawn images from the Way of the Cross were scanned and each student recorded his or her prayer or reflection. Each Station was woven into a story narrated by the children themselves. A movie-maker software program was used to edit the voices and align them with the images.

A DVD of the movie was produced and shared with other students in the program and the rest of the team. Each student got a DVD for his/her personal record as well.
