Next half term at Thursday toddler group we will be travelling along the road to Easter. In the Gospels Jesus meets several people when he is on this last journey to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover for the final time. So four of our stories will be about these people that met Jesus as he was going to Jerusalem. Then we will have the story of the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem and in the final week the Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
I’ll be using different props for each story but as we go there will be a paper plate picture for each week that will build a bigger picture..
Our stories will be
- The Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18:18-23 and Mark 10:17-22)
- Bartimaeus (Luke 18:35-43 and Mark 10:32,33,46-52)
- Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)
- Mary anoints Jesus (John 12:1-8)
- The Triumphal Entry (Luke 19:28-40)
- Death and Resurrection of Jesus (Luke 23:44-24:12)
This is how our big picture will look when we have told all the stories..
These are paper plates covered in tissue paper with people and buildings and trees etc added.
The people are available to download – if you would like to make a contribution to the blog you are very welcome to do so but of course you don’t have to!
The pictures of trees and buildings are available in this post https://lettheirlightshine.com/2015/03/20/jesus-enters-jerusalem-palm-sunday/
