Preschool: Palm Sunday Parade

March 31st, 2010

March 28, 2010

This Sunday, we learned that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and all the people waved palm branches and yelled “Hosanna” to praise him. Jesus was happy to see the people because Jesus loves everyone! Who does Jesus love? Jesus loves everyone! We had so much fun this week celebrating this fun story. We played a game riding on a donkey around the room, and had delicious donkey shaped cookies.

Parents, talking to your child about Jesus’ death and resurrection can be a little intimidating- but don’t let it be. There are lots of great children’s Bibles that tell this story using kid-friendly language. There arealso resources that can make this story fun to learn, too. One of my favorite Easter activities for families is making resurrection cookies (click here for recipe) or telling the story through Resurrection eggs.

This was our last week working on our memory verse from John. Be sure to ask your child to say it with you one last time. “Love eachother as I have loved you.” John 15:12.
