Bulletin Board for Lent

A few years ago I made a bulletin board for Lent so that the children could "walk" the path with Jesus.
I also put it on Pinterest

Look for images for Lent on free clip art websites.  Fish symbols were used on Ash Wednesday and all Friday's.  

There are many free foot print images that you can copy, or you can put ink on your hand and make the feet like we did on the bus when we were children on the frosty windows! Then  make copies. Make sure you have a left and right foot print so that the effect of "walking" shows on each day. 

I used a Cricut machine to cut the numbers and words that were used.  

The stones were each cut from a full sheet of black construction paper - each stone represents a day of Lent. The first stone is Ash Wednesday and the last being the open tomb of Easter Sunday.  Look for printable images for Holy Week and Easter too.

I found a wonderful free printable Lenten Calendar on another blog. Click here view and print it.  

Use the free printable calendar for ideas of how to decorate your bulletin board. 

Children learn from visual images/words and repeating the information. If you use this bulletin board on a daily/weekly basis during Lent, the children will learn from it and think about Jesus' journey and passion!
