    strong.

    Refrain:Yes, Jesus loves me!Yes, Jesus loves me!Yes, Jesus loves me!

    The Bible tells me so.

    Jesus loves me! This I know,As He loved so long ago,

    Taking children on His knee,Saying, Let them come to

    Me.

    Jesus loves me still today,Walking with me on my way,Wanting as a friend to give

    Light and love to all who live.

    Jesus loves me! He who diedHeavens gate to open wide;He will wash away my sin,Let His little child come in.

    Jesus loves me! He will stayClose beside me all the way;Thou hast bled and died for

    me,I will henceforth live for Thee.

    Easter Cheer (Tune: "B-I-N-G-O")

    Though Jesus died, let's not be sad. (Make a sad face.)

    On the cross for all to see (Make cross with fingers)

    The earth, it shook (Make fists and shake arms)

    When Jesus died, our sins he took. (Cross hands on chest then extend

  • Resurrection Rolls: For smaller children, they are especially amazed when you open the tomb, and it is empty. You can remind them that He has risen through this memorable hands on cooking tradition!1.Share the truth of how Jesus was placed into the tomb (crescent rolls) after the crucifixion.2.Explain how they prepared his body by putting oil and herbs on him (cinnamon and sugar represents the oils and spices).3.As you wrap the marshmallow,explain how this represents the wrapping of Jesuss body after His death.4.Finally, after waiting three long day (or twelve minutes baking time, which feels like days to the children), explain that death could not hold Him in the grave and He is alive. (The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll puffs up, BUT is empty!!Resurrection RollsIngredients1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls8 large marshmallows1/4 cup melted butter2 tablespoons ground cinnamon2 tablespoons white sugarDirections1.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.2. Lightly grease a baking sheet.3.Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.If you can fin the big and flaky ones, the marshmallows will fit better)4.In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.5.Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture. Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle. Carefully wrap the dough around the marshmallow. Pinch the seams together very tightly to seal in the marshmallow as it melts (or cut a bit of the marshmallow off to fit). Place on a baking sheet. Repeat.6.Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.7.Makes Eight Resurrection Rolls8.** I have made these without dipping them in any butter, cinnamon/sugar mixture and they are still delicious. The butter just makes them an extra special treat.Make sure you seal the seams really well. If you dont, the marshmallow will ooze out the sides, which is just fine in our home. You have the option of making the rolls bigger by using two crescent roll, but still use one marshmallow. This way, the marshmallow wont come out at all. Have the kids play around with making these. On some of them we wanted the empty tomb effect, so we left a little part of the roll open but made sure the side had a little lip to contain the melted mallow.

  • Jesus forgives and makes us clean

    You will need, plastic beaker, dropper, water, food coloring, bleach. Fill your container 2/3 full with water. tell class that when they were born, they had not sinned, and that they had pure clean hearts. As we get older, we all do things that doesn't please Jesus, mom, dad, etc. When this happens, our hearts aren't clean anymore. Add a drop of food coloring, stir. Jesus says that if we come to him and ask for forgiveness, that He will forgive us and love us no matter what. Add some drops of bleach. Tell the children that even though Jesus forgives, sometimes it takes a little bit for our hearts to feel happy again. If the water isn't clean, pure yet, add bit more bleach. Children will see the water change to pure again. This leaves a real impact on young children. They can see it happen and they remember how Jesus loves us always!

  • WARMTH OF THE CROSSChildren are guided to find a hidden cross

    TOPICS:Cross, God's Love

    MATERIALS:Small cross

    DURATION:Approximately 15 minutes WHAT YOU WILL DO:You will select one child to take a small cross (paper cutout as displayed above will work fine) and hide it somewhere in the classroom while the other kids wait outside. After the child hides the cross, let everyone back into the room. The child who hid the cross will call out the names of the kids and say warm or cold depending on how close they are to the cross. Have them continue until they find the hidden cross. If time permits, the one who finds the cross can hide it again so the class can play the game again.

    WHAT YOU WILL SAY:As we get closer to God, we can feel His warmth and love, and He draws us nearer and nearer to Him. However, when we turn from Him, and go the other way, it becomes harder and harder to feel the warmth and love He has for us.

    Cross Toss:

    Purple paper is inserted in some cups to make a cross. The kids try to throw eggs in the purple cross.
