    In the Resources downloads section you’ll now find Classroom Prompts alongside the activity downloads.

    These Classroom Prompts are ready made instruction sheets for your students to follow.

    What people say...

    It was a really beautiful experience. It was really peaceful and calm in here and the kids really seemed to enjoy the activities. 

    Classroom Teacher

    It gave us an opportunity to see where our kids hearts are at: for some kids it was heartbreaking to read some of their prayers and for others it was beautiful to see how connected they are.

    School Chaplain

    I was really impressed as I went around to see the different activities and to see the students engagement. Some of the students, who to be honest we didn’t think would be interested in that sort of activity really engaged and took the activities seriously.
