Elementary Family Actions:
Build the Story
WHAT YOU NEED: Bible, Legos
WHAT YOU DO: Read John 12:12-15 and John 13:3-5 out loud to the group. • Share that another of the writers of another gospel tells us that the people laid their coats and branches from the trees on the road that Jesus traveled down! That was something you did for someone so important! The people were so excited that Jesus was coming!
• Divide your group into four groups. • Give each team a specific part of the Palm Sunday story to build with their LEGOs®. •
Option 1: Build the donkey Jesus rode.
• Option 2: Build the road with coats and branches on it. • Team 3: Build the crowd of people who were celebrating and waving palm branches. • Team 4: Build Jesus washing the disciples’ feet. • Give them several minutes to build their part of the story. • When they are done, bring all the creations together and use them to retell the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem like a king and Jesus serving others by washing feet.
WHAT YOU SAY: “Look at this! You built the whole story! Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, and the people celebrated Jesus like a king. They made a special path with coats and branches and waved palm branches in the air as they shouted Hosanna.’ Hosanna’ means, save us, we pray.’ “But Jesus showed them that He is an upside down’ kind of King. A few days later, Jesus did the job of a servant and washed His friends’ feet. Jesus, the true King of heaven and earth, chose to take on this humble job of washing feet. Jesus even washed the feet of Judas Iscariot, whom He knew was about to betray Him to the religious leaders! Jesus did that to teach us all an important lesson. Jesus showed us how to treat others and put others first. [Bottom Line] Jesus showed us how to be humble.
