A Catholic Garden of Puzzles Sandra Garant Children ages 8–18 will enjoy digging into this word puzzle garden! There are different puzzle “patches” from which to pick, but all of them focus on some aspect of our Catholic faith. If you want an appropriate puzzle for the month of May (Mary), look in “The Blessed Virgin’s Puzzle Patch.” If you’re studying Scripture, check the “Scriptural Puzzle Patch.” There are 77 word puzzles in all, including Cryptograms,

Amazing Virtues by Cathy Garant In this maze are vices and virtues. Young children may simply circle the virtues and color in the garden. Older children can start at one of the four gates and work their way toward the center collecting the virtues, without crossing or retracing their path and without going past a vice.

Easy Personal Devotions Logic David, Imelda, James, and Rachel are friends who each have a different way of showing their love for God. Using the facts given, determine each child’s favorite devotion. If you are sure that a child does not match a devotion, then mark an “X” in the box which is both directly under the devotion and directly across from the child’s name. If you match the child and the devotion, mark the proper box with “Yes.” For example, clue #2 means you can put an “X” in the box which is farthest to the right directly across from James’ name.

Restoration puzzles, Which Way?, Purgation puzzles, Vowel-less puzzles, Connect the Words, and Logic puzzles. Gardens are meant to be productive. The purpose of this garden is to encourage critical thinking, to improve spelling, and to immerse the puzzler in the rich fragrance of our Catholic faith. Each puzzle makes a ready-to-go handout for enrichment or review! Permission is granted to make additional copies of the puzzles for immediate family members. Includes answer key. Softcover. 90 pgs. 8½"×11" CGPZ $12.50
