Gather a plate, string cheese, and raisins. 

 Peel off a piece of string cheese (about 1/3 of the whole).

Break that 1/3 piece in half.

Peel the remaining string cheese only halfway so that it’s separated at the top.

Place the broken, half piece of string cheese across the separated section of cheese to resemble a sling shot. (Discard/eat the other half piece.)

Have your child count out five raisins and place them beside the slingshot to be the stones.

 David was so brave to go against the giant Goliath. But David wasn’t alone! God was with David and helped him be brave. God will help you be brave too.

Bible

Fold the construction paper in half to look like a book and write “BIBLE” on the front/the book cover.

Jesus had a special breakfast on the beach with His friends. But Jesus isn’t just their friend, He is your friend too!

Paper Plate Tomb

Gather a paper plate, crayons or markers, a piece of tissue paper, scissors, and a Little People figure. (Note: You could use a small ball pit ball instead of a tissue paper ball.)

Cut the plate in half and then cut the middle out of the plate to look like an arch. This will be your tomb.

Color the “tomb” the crayons or markers.

Roll the tissue paper into a ball. This will be your stone.

Place the Little People figure in the tomb to be Jesus and roll the stone in front of the tomb.

 Remove Jesus from the tomb and then roll the stone away from the tomb. Jesus is gone. He’s alive! You can repeat this as many times as you’d like while retelling the story!

 Jesus’ body was placed in the tomb with a big stone rolled in front of it. But, three days later when the stone was moved, Jesus was gone! He was alive! God sent Jesus to be our friend forever!

Palm Leaf Handprint

 Gather a piece of green construction paper, a green straw, a crayon, scissors, and tape.

Trace your child’s hand on the construction paper and cut it out.

Tape the handprint to the straw to be your palm leaf. Now you can wave it while shouting, “Hosanna!”

 The people were SO excited to see Jesus coming to town! They grabbed big palm leaves and praised Him by shouting, “Hosanna!”
