A board about the first saint of the millennial generation, who loved the Eucharist.
Carlo Acutis is an outdoor religious board about the life of a teenage saint. A quiz asks what Carlo is the patron of, a puzzle puts his life story in order, and good-deed missions end the story with something to do. It stands at parishes, faith schools, retreat centres and after-school clubs.
The zones follow one another: first questions about who Carlo was, then his life story, and finally good deeds the child carries out on their own.
From the letters of the correct answers, the child spells out a phrase. A wrong answer stops the phrase from forming, so the child sees without help that it is time to go back to the questions.
The child arranges pictures from Carlo's life in the order of events, from his earliest years to his canonisation. Along the way, the child learns the most important moments of his life and practises chronology.
The third zone moves from knowing about Carlo to acting. Movement tasks and search-and-find games engage the body and powers of observation, and good-deed missions suggest gestures towards other people and towards nature.
Carlo loved games, computers and friends. His life story shows holiness through the example of someone close to children in age and interests.
The quiz calls for reading, the puzzle for looking, and the movement tasks for jumping and searching, so younger and older children both work at the board.
Good-deed missions give parents and the catechist a starting point for talking about what the child did for others after leaving the board.
The board stands outdoors, so a lesson about the saint can be held outside the classroom, and children can come back to it after class.
The board is designed for year-round use. Damp, frost and sun do not damage the materials.
The zones of the board add up to a ready structure for a religion lesson or formation meeting about Carlo, from the first question to the final task.
