The Resurrection

Act out the Easter story with your youth. It will help them to remember the order of the events. It makes a great Children's Message too!

Jesus died and was put in a grave. (Squat down and curl into a little ball.)
A giant rock was rolled in front of the place. (Pound on the floor with your hands.)
His friends cried and were sad that he was dead. (Pretend to cry.)
But on the third day, something happened. (Count to three on your fingers.)
A giant earthquake rocked the ground. (Have youth stomp their feet and clap.)
The giant stone rolled away. (Have youth roll over on the floor.)
Mary and her friends walked to the grave. (Walk in place.)
They felt the earthquake. (Stomp your feet.)
They ran to the open grave. (Run in place.)
They looked in. (Cup your hand over your eyes.)
A bright angel was inside the grave. (Shield your eyes from the brightness.)
The women were sad and afraid. (Act scared.)
The angel told the women that Jesus was alive! (Cheer.)
And so the women went to tell the disciples. (Run in place.)
Jesus appeared to them. (Act surprised.)
The women fell down at his feet. (Fall to the floor.)
They were so happy to see him! (Cheer and hug each other.)
