This post contains 2 downloads... Be sure to get both!! We’re having a little fun learning about the Conclave!!
Conclave Reading Comprehension
First, I made a reading comprehension printable about the Conclave and the way a new pope is elected. The comprehension print-out also has a page of questions and an extra page of fun facts!
I made this to suit my 3 to 6 graders, but it can be used as a guide for younger grades.
It’s also acceptable for higher grades.
Here is the first of 2 downloads on this post. It's the Reading Comprehension Pages:
Conclave Smoke Craft
After reading the above print-out we made this craft;
It’s a model of the smoke stack/chimney on the Sistine Chapel, which signals to the people outside whether or not a new pope has been chosen.
This model of the Sistine Chapel’s Chimney includes a
puff of white smoke and a puff of black smoke!
This is the 2nd download on this post. Download the Chimney Stack Smoke craft here:
I hope this helps you teach your kids about this amazing time in history!
God Bless!
