5.       Bible Story:  Easter (Luke 24:1-12)
a.       Have your child act out the story as you sing it or read it.
The story song is sung to the tune of “Are You Sleeping?”
Women walking, women walking,
Easter morn, Easter morn,
Took along perfume, took along perfume,
To the grave, to the grave.

“Who will move, who will move,
The big stone, the big stone?
It will be too heavy, it will be too heavy,
For us alone, for us alone.”

“Look!  It’s gone.  Look! It’s gone.
Rolled away, rolled away.
And there sits and angel, and there sits an angel.
I’m afraid.  I’m afraid.”

Don’t be frightened, don’t be frightened,”
The angel said, the angel said.
“Jesus Christ has risen!  Jesus Christ has risen!
He’s alive!  He’s alive!”

Jesus’ helpers, Jesus’ helpers,
Peter and John, Peter and John,
Saw the empty grave, saw the empty grave.
They rejoiced, they rejoiced.

Friends of Jesus, friends of Jesus,
Celebrate!  Celebrate!
We know that He’s risen, we know that He’s risen.
Celebrate!  Celebrate!

Let’s go tell now, let’s go tell now,
All our friends, all our friends.
“Jesus Christ has risen!  Jesus Christ has risen!
He’s alive!  He’s alive!”

Tell your child that Jesus died for our sins.  But now Jesus is alive.  Jesus is here with us, loving us and forgiving us when we do bad things.  Jesus will someday take us to heaven to be with Him forever.  There we will be happy all the time.  We will never be sad or unhappy.  Jesus loves us so much!
Prayer:  Dear Jesus, You are our Savior.  You died for us and rose again.  You are alive.  You hear us when we pray (pause for or add prayer requests).  In your name we pray.  Amen.

*Remember, you can do a little or a lot.  These are suggestions to help your child stay on track for Kindergarten in this challenging time.  Mrs. Sistrunk and I appreciate any of your efforts.
