Jesus Has Power Over Death: John 11

  1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
  2. Have you learned anything about God that surprises you?
  3. When Jesus came to Lazarus' tomb, what did Jesus do?
  4. Mary and Martha showed great faith in Jesus. Who is someone in your life who has great faith?
  5. If Jesus has power over death, what other things can He help you with?

Preschool Family Actions: Lazarus, Come Out!

Supplies Needed: towels, sheets, chairs and tables (as available in room)

Jesus has power over death. After Lazarus died, his body was placed in a tomb. When Jesus arrived at the tomb, Jesus called, “Lazarus, come out,” and Lazarus walked out of the tomb alive!

Create a cave inside your room using towels, sheets, chairs, and tables with the kids. Invite one kid to play the part of Lazarus and go to “sleep” inside the cave. Together, chant, “One, Two, Three, Four. Lazarus, come out the door!” After hearing the word door, the child playing Lazarus should walk out of the cave. Encourage kids to cheer and say, “Jesus has power over death!” Repeat and allow every kid the chance to play Lazarus.

Elementary Family Actions: The Disappearing Man

Supplies Needed: dry-erase marker and whiteboard

Before this game, draw a basic stick figure on the whiteboard. You will want to have a few details on the figure such as a face. The more parts there are to erase, the longer you can play the game!

Invite kids to spread out so they have room to move. We’re going to play a game called The Disappearing Man. The goal of this game is to guess the word on the board one letter at a time. Whenever someone guesses a letter incorrectly, we will erase one part of the man on the board and you will all lose the ability to use that part of your body. For example, I might erase the stick figure’s right foot and say, “You lost your right foot,” so you will all have to stand on your left foot. Or I might erase the figure’s left eye and say, “You lost your left eye,” so you will all have to keep that eye closed.

Near the stick figure on the whiteboard, add dashes to indicate the number of letters in the mystery word. Consider choosing words that relate to the Risen series, such as: life, power, king, holy, mercy, saved, crucifixion, and resurrection. On each kid’s turn, she may guess a letter or attempt to guess the entire word. If she guesses the entire word, then everyone is raised back to life and regains full use of his body.

With each incorrectly guessed letter, you could progress this way:

  • You lost your right foot. Kids stand on their left foot.
  • You lost your left arm. Kids hold it behind their backs.
  • You lost your left eye. Kids close that eye.
  • You lost your other foot! Kids kneel.
  • You lost your other eye! Kids close both eyes.
  • All is lost! Kids lie down defeated.

SAY "After Lazarus died, Jesus simply spoke, and Lazarus came back to life. Jesus has power over death!"
