The overall goal of this program is to help kids (K-5th grade) understand that each person is called to become a saint. Throughout the year, kids will train in 8 different virtues that will strengthen their character and deepen their faith. Each monthly lesson features hands-on activities, music, and videos that focus on a specific virtue.

Each activity has a stopwatch with a number to indicate the approximate time it should take in minutes.
Music is such a powerful tool to teach the faith. Each lesson has a theme song featured on the Kids Club DVD. Kids and leaders can sing along and do the actions by watching the video.
In the Faith Station, kids will learn the Vital Verse and take part in an interactive Bible Story. These activities will highlight the monthly virtue and help kids apply it to their daily life.
Every lesson comes with 2-3 game options.
Each game is designed for 5-10 minutes of play, for groups of all sizes. You do not have to play very game option. Choose which games are best for your group and time schedule. Be flexible and have fun!
Each lesson gives you two craft options.
You may choose to do either the individual craft or the team craft.
Every lesson features a Saint that the kids can learn from and be inspired by. We highly encourage you to purchase Cat.Chat Saint Cards as well as the Super Saint Symbols for the Super Saint station. These special take home items will remind the kids to ask the Super Saint to pray for them.
This is your opportunity to challenge the kids to exercise the virtues. Guide them through the Cat.Chat Challenge, the goals of the month, and give them concrete examples from your own life to help inspire them. Be passionate and enthusiastic as you explain this important part of their training.
Each lesson features a funĀ themed snack for kids to make and enjoy that emphasizes the virtue of the month. There is also the simpler option of serving popcorn to go along with the Cat.Chat Movie.
Along with your Leader Guide books, you will have access to digital videos to help you run a successful Kid’s Club Program. Each video is carefully crafted to fit the theme of each lesson.
Your Kids Club program includes one Action Song videos per day. The action song videos allow your kids to learn the action to each song of the VBS Music.

Each Kid’s Club program includes a Bible Verse related to the theme for each lesson.

As part of teaching children scripture, the leader can decide to present a Bible Verse Video to the children.
Here is an example of the Bible Verse Video for lesson 1.

āMy kids love Cat.Chat. Since we’ve been introduced to it, it has become regular listening almost every time we’re in the car. The tunes are catchy and the lessons learned are inspiring. Cat.Chat is a wonderful tool to help parents and kids grow together in their love and appreciation for the richness of our Catholic faith.ā
