Children's Sunday School Activity - Holy Week - the road to Easter - activity of events leading up to Easter

You can consider this an Easter game or Easter learning activity - or both!

The answers are all there -the key events from Palm Sunday to Easter that children should know.

The children have to put these Holy Week events in their proper order.

This activity makes the children think about the things that happened.

You can choose 2 ways to do it!

Either

1.The children can cut out the squares below and glue them in the proper order from 1 to 11 on the road

OR

2. The children can write (small) the answers in the road pavers (instead of cutting out the squares.) Older children may prefer this option. See special instructions below for putting pictures in the road.

Print enough copies of both Last Supper pages for your class.

If you cut out the lower squares:

1. Cut the 3 rows of squares across
2. Then cut the individual squares.
3. Layout the squares on the table and decide the right order for them.
4. When you are satisfied you are correct, glue them on the road in the right order starting with square #1.(What happened first)

If you do not cut out the lower squares ( suitable for grade 3 and up as requires tiny writing)
1. Determine from the squares the sequence of things that happened during holy week. You might lightly pencil a sequence number in the corner of each box. (What happened first? )

2. When you are satisfied you are correct, you can write in the road pavers. Where there is a picture in the box, you may draw the picture on the road in its proper sequence instead of writing it out. You can even make-up your own pictures for them instead.

Review and discuss the events before or after the activity.

Let the class talk together and help each other out to get the right sequence.
