Hosanna!

Luke 19: 30 – 31

“Go to the village ahead of you and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.  Untie it and bring it here. 

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ tell him,

‘The Lord needs it.’”

Matthew 21: 7 – 9

They brought the donkey…placed their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on them.   A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.  The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted,

‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’

‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

‘Hosanna in the highest!’

Clap! Clap!   Places everybody. In 5, 4, 3, 2, ACTION!

OK Moms, you have the script.  Give your little ones a jacket or a sweater.  You or Dad can be the donkey.  Show them how to lay their jackets on the ground.  Give one of your children the part of Jesus and let them climb up on the “donkey” (mom or dad.) 

Now begin their lines…

‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’

‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

‘Hosanna in the highest!’ 

Let’s teach our children the story of Easter, starting with Good Friday.

This will not just be “play time” this will be the beginning of them understanding the meaning of Easter.
