Many second graders are preparing to receive the Eucharist for the first time. As part of this process, catechists and parents will help the children learn the prayers of the Church, including the Hail Mary. This Hail Mary activity sheet, available to download in Spanish and English, will help them learn and memorize this important prayer. Direct the children to fill in the missing letters, color the page, and then cut it out. Using a set of rosary beads, show the children how this prayer is part of the Rosary. Encourage them to post their Hail Mary page at home so they may pray it regularly.
