First, watch this week’s video!
What You Need: Green crepe paper streamers, tissue paper, fabric, or construction paper; and scissors What You Do: Cut a piece of green streamer, tissue paper, fabric, or paper for you and for your child to wave in the air like a palm branch. Say, “Today, the Bible story was about Jesus! Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son. In our story, people waved palm branches in the air and cheered for Jesus because Jesus is SO special! Let’s cheer for Jesus like they did in the Bible story. “We can pretend this is a green palm branch! (Give your child the green streamer.) Follow me, and let’s cheer for Jesus! (Lead your child around the room waving their branches.) “Hosanna! Hosanna! Yay, Jesus! Say that with me as you wave your palm branch. Hosanna! Hosanna! Yay, Jesus!” (Continue walking and cheering as long as time and interest allow.)
Bible Story Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1-11, 15-16)
When you are finished say, “We cheer for Jesus because Jesus is alive AND Jesus wants to be our friend forever. Yay, Jesus is alive! Who is alive? Jesus is alive!”
Remember This “I am alive for ever and ever!” Revelation 1:18, NIV
Say This Who is alive? Jesus is alive.
Prayer “Dear God, thank You for sending us Jesus. Jesus is special because He is Your Son. We praise You for Jesus!”
