​Pass the Papal Keys - Game

Keys are a symbol of St. Peter and the "keys to the Kingdom" They are also a symbol of the pope!
Peter passed "the keys" to the next pope after he died and each pope has passed them to the new pope who was chosen after him.

Draw a set of keys on a yellow balloon and let the kids pass "the keys" to each other.  If you have older kids who know some past popes, have them say a name of a pope when they touch the balloon.

Simon Peter Says! - Game

All you need is a miter (and a white robe if you want to get fancy)! We created a paper miter! And used thick ribbon to decorate it!

​This game is played just like "Simon Says" but Simon wears a miter and is called "Simon Peter" in honor of our first Pope. Simon Peter tells the other children to kneel, pray, genuflect, make the Sign of the Cross, lie prostrate, as well as, the normal "Simon Says" commands.
