Materials

- Poster board
- Coloring materials
Directions
- Spend some time discussing what the children already know about the story of Jesus' rising.
- When you feel they are ready to move on, call their attention to Luke 24:1-8.
- Invite the children to open their Bibles to the passage and ask for volunteers to read it aloud.
- After the reading, encourage the children to ask questions they might have about the story.
- Then ask the children to think of a way that they would like to retell the story. Suggest ideas such as a drawing, role-play, pantomime, oral retelling, interview, and so on.
- Allow the children to work in pairs or small groups if they like.
- Invite the children to present their retellings to the group.
- Close by saying: We learn many things about Jesus. Too often we forget what we learned and need to be reminded by reading the Scriptures and listening to stories about Jesus' life.
