Normally I would be hosting a passover feast in my classroom complete with Ritz crackers and Grape Juice....then I would read from our Beginners Bible about how Jesus ate dinner with His friends (a dinner just like we just had!) and then He did something really nice but really gross...Jesus washed His friends feet!!!! (At which point I make a really stinky face and remind them how much I hate feet:) After the giggling and squealling dies down, I talk to them about why Jesus did this...even though it is kind of gross, Jesus was all about wanting to help people right? So Jesus helped His friends by doing something nice for them, He washed their dirty feet....Now is washing people's feet the only way to be nice like Jesus? At which point we go through all of the ways we can be nice like Jesus. Then I would wash their feet like Jesus did, then it would be their turn and we would go around to teachers in the big school and ask them if we could wash their feet and be kind like Jesus was...Some of those things obviously can't happen this year but I encourage you to do this as a family, to remind each other that with Jesus in our hearts, we need to show His kindness and Love to others!
Here are some awesome youtube video about Easter that goes along with our Beginners Bible that we usually read in class...
