Christine Haapala has an excellent book to do Stations of the Cross with children. Follow Me (http://www.amazon.com/Follow-Me-Christine-Haapala/dp/0970399693/ref=pd_sim_b_1)
it is not the true stations of the cross, but i have done youth specialities Journey to the Cross for years and it is such a powerful experience for the congregation, teens, and older kids: http://www.youthspecialties.com/articles/journey-to-the-cross/
I've seen some cute bracelets with the stations of the cross on them like this one http://www.catholiccompany.com/stations-cross-bracelet-p2033668/. As a teen girl (if I would've been Catholic then!) I would've loved making my own bracelet from beads/tiles representing each station. For boys, maybe having outdoor stations (there's a cool Catholic memorial place around here with something like that)
Great place to get for bankruptcy public records at lowest cost and fastest delivery on internet. It is something like online availability of records.
Kate,
I would not be comfortable if I didn’t share with you a wonderful resource that our Youth Ministry discovered many years ago that has worked beautifully with our high school youth group. It’s called “The Station’s of the Cross for Teen’s” by Steven Givens. We took a challenge and made a CD with one of our teen’s reading the script and our music minister Mr. Ruben Galabeas playing music in the background. From station to station, the work of Mr Givens bridges the gap between the sacrifice of the way of the cross to the experiences that our teens face everyday at work and school. Our Deacon, Mr. Alfonso Ramirez narrated the production. We love it and have used it every year during the season of Lent with our Teens.
