Well, Choclo's Confirmation is postponed due to the pandemic, and who knows when it will be rescheduled. But it will happen, and we are still preparing.
The Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit are easy to turn into lists to be memorized, but they can then all run together without a clear idea of what is a gift (special grace from the Holy Spirit), and what is a fruit (a sign that the Holy Spirit is acting in your life, a sign that you are using the gifts).
Putting them in separate posters and uncovering one at a time lets us spend a few days with each gift or fruit, and hopefully will help him understand them at a deeper level.
As you can see, he "opened" all the Gifts of the Spirit, and we've moved on to "picking" the Fruits of the Spirit. The Gifts poster has the Holy Spirit actively giving the gifts, and the Fruits poster has Him resting in the tree (representing the soul).
As Choclo "picks" a random fruit, it uncovers a gift and we discuss what it looks like when a person is showing that fruit.
