Before the session, look in the Bible and find pictures of Jesus. Put a sticky note on each page so that it is sticking out the side.
Lay the Bible and the teaching picture on the floor.

Point to the teaching picture and talk about today’s Bible story. Say: “Jesus is alive!” and guide the preschoolers to repeat with you.

Materials: heavy weight paper, clear contact plastic or clear packing tape, scissors, marker

Cut the paper into large stone shapes. Print the words of the Weekly Verse onto the paper, one word per paper. Make at least two sets. Using clear contact plastic or packing tape, securely attach the papers to the floor in a path.
Invite a preschooler to step in the “stone” path. Say the words as he steps on each one. Encourage him to walk again and say the words of the verse with you.

Bible Story: Jesus Is Alive Matthew 28:1-10
Life Point: Jesus is alive.
Weekly Verse: Jesus is alive. Matthew 28:7

Materials: paper, marker, clear contact plastic, tissue paper

Print JESUS in large letters, filling each piece of paper. Tape the papers to a table. Cut the tissue paper into small squares. Cut the clear contact plastic to the same size as the paper, and tape it over the paper with Jesus’ name, sticky side out.
Invite kindergartners to make a design. Show them how to stick the tissue paper over the letters of Jesus’ name. Tell the Bible story as children make their designs. Comment that Jesus is alive, because God made Him alive after He died. Lead the kids to say, “Jesus is alive!”
When a child is finished, help her stick another piece of the contact plastic over the one with the design. Print her name in the corner with a permanent maker.
