Guess Who? Saints Edition

Last night, I was thrilled to find a new version of Guess Who on Jessica's blog. She had seen Guess Who...of the Saints on Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families.  Today, I made our own template of saints (pdf), including the large pieces (pdf), and then my son cut them out, etc.


What I really like about Guess Who? Saints Edition is that it appeals to older children, too.  Instead of simply asking questions about what the character looks like, the children (ages 6 and up) are asking questions about the saints.  During one game, I heard:

"Was the saint a male or female?"
"Female"
"Was the saint a martyr?"
"No"
"Was the saint from France?"
"No"
"Was the saint from Hungary?"
"Yes"
"Oh, it's St. Elizabeth of Hungary!"

I am expecting that the questions might become more complex over time.

  1. This is so cool! However, I couldn't get the pdf's to open for me...not sure if it's just my computer...

  2. Hi Elisa,

    The pdf's are large, so they take a little longer to open. I can email them to you as a jpeg or pdf when I have access to our main computer.
