Our Universally Designed ACRE (Assessment of Child/Youth Religious Education) test activities were created with multiple intelligences in mind and frequently align to the 5 E’s. These activity packs prepare students for the yearly assessment from the National Catholic Education Association. In addition, with all of the activities originating in Google, they allow for easy Google Classroom integration. Just Open, Make a Copy, and Assign!

However, if you are not using Google Classroom, do not be discouraged! Each activity has been formatted for easy PDF download and print, just like our other assignments. Simply, click File and Download as PDF.
