Thank you to Sheri Menke for creating a lesson to teach the children about the story of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha!
Read about Lazarus, John 11:1-45, Spark Bible page 440
PLAY: Resurrection Tag
One person is it and they are trying to tag people. If you get tagged, then you are “frozen.” But anyone who isn’t frozen can unfreeze. Sounds like Freeze Tag, right? That’s because it is! The key is to teach the children what resurrection means compared to death. So after playing freeze tag for a few rounds stop play and say something like this, “Just like you got frozen, and cannot move. So in life people die. When they die, they cannot move. But because Jesus loves us and received new life from God, one day he will resurrect us with new life. Eternal life!”
