If you’re looking for a fun way to engage your students in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Loyola Press has posted a free Advent Bingo activity for use in Catholic classrooms and religious education programs.
The bingo activity is available as a free download on Loyola’s website, and includes three leader guides and thirty 
different bingo cards.
Great news out of Chicago this week as The Soul of a Nation reports increased enrollment for the archdiocese for the first time in 60 years. The article attributes this growth to, among other things, strong leadership and an experimental model of governance for 16 of its schools.
Read more about this amazing achievement at The Soul of a Nation.
Finally, this month we’re asking the question, How willing are you to make Advent more meaningful? Would you be wiling to refrain from Christmas carols or putting up a Christmas tree until the Christmas season actually begins? Let us know by visiting CatholicSchoolChronicle.com to take our poll or leave a comment.
This is very tidy and thorough.
I’m reminded of this Catechetical Bingo, which requires some initial input from the players, but which may increase the learning:
