1 Week of April 8, 2012 Lessons for the Leader Have you ever had a plan, but something happened to make you have to change the plan? Read on to learn what changed Mary Magdalene's plan for the day. Read John 20:1-2. Sorrow weighed heavily on Mary Magdalene as she went early in the morning to the tomb. Probably, Mary went to prepare Jesus' body after His death. Whatever she planned, she did not plan on seeing the stone rolled away. She ran to tell two disciples. Perhaps she knew she would need a man to ask questions about the empty tomb. Do you sometimes need someone to intervene and help you? Jesus is always ready and waiting to help. Read John 20:3-10. Peter and John ran to the tomb. The men went in and saw the linens lying there, but no Jesus. The men saw and believed that Jesus was not there. However, the men still did not understand the Scripture about Jesus rising from the dead. The men left the tomb. Do we often say we believe but not understand? Read John 20: Reflect on the happenings in these verses. What would you have thought or done if angels had spoken to you? Do you think Mary thought of them as angels or possibly garden workers? Was she too distraught from Jesus' body being missing to grasp what had really happened? How could she have not known who the man was standing right in front of her? Imagine how she felt when she heard Jesus' voice. How do you feel when you realize Jesus is speaking to you? Read John 20:18. Mary ran to tell the disciples. Mary obeyed. Do you tell the good news that Jesus is alive? Start with your preschoolers today. What do these symbols mean? 1aApplication Activities Format: Follow the numbers with arrows for a 30-minute, large group plus 20-minute Application Activities format. 1 Follow all the numbers for a 45- to 60-minute large group only format.

Someone pretending to be Mary Magdalene, a woman who went to Jesus' tomb early one morning, will tell our Bible story. Let's listen." (Mary Magdalene enters and talks.) Hello, boys and girls. I want to tell you about a special day that happened long ago. The day started out very sad, but it didn't end that way. I can hardly wait to tell you the exciting part, but let me start at the beginning. Jesus Is Alive! Page 2 of 16

3 Jesus Is Alive! Based on John 20:1-18 I went to the tomb while it was early and still dark. I was very sad about Jesus dying. When I got to the tomb, I saw the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. I ran to tell Peter and John, two of Jesus' disciples. I was so upset. I told the men that Jesus' body was gone. His body had been taken out of the tomb and I did not know where they had put Him. Peter and John both ran to the tomb. John got there first but did not go in the tomb. Peter arrived and went in. The disciples saw the clothes Jesus had been wrapped in when He was put in the tomb. The clothes were there, but Jesus was not there! The disciples did not understand what had happened to Jesus. Neither did I. The disciples went home, but I stayed at the tomb. I stood there crying. I looked inside the tomb and saw two angels. The angels asked me why I was crying. I told them I was sad because Jesus' body was gone and I didn't know where it was. I turned away from the angels and saw a man. This man asked me why I was crying and whom I was looking for. I thought maybe he was a gardener who took care of the tombs. I begged the man to tell me where he had put Jesus' body. The man answered with one word, "Mary." The man called me by name. I recognized His voice. I called Him Teacher. It was Jesus! Jesus was alive! Jesus told me to tell the others the great news. I couldn't wait! I ran to the disciples and shouted, "I have seen Jesus!" That is why I am here today. I want you to know Jesus is alive! It is not a secret. Tell everyone that Jesus was dead, but now He is alive! (Mary exits.) 10aLearn the Bible Verse (3 minutes) Paper, markers Print Matthew 28:7 from your preferred translation. Teacher Tip Print and use "Matthew 28:7 Paraphrase" (CD). Display and read aloud the verse. Say: "Stand and say the verse with me." Guide children to stand and repeat the verse, leading boys and then girls to say it. 11 Sing "Jesus Is Alive" (DVD, 2 minutes) 12aReview the Bible Story (4 minutes) Print "Teaching Picture 6 Jesus is Alive" (CD). Comment: "After Jesus died on the cross, He was placed in a tomb. A large stone was rolled in front of the entrance. Look at the picture." Display the teaching picture. Ask: "Is the stone over the doorway now?" Ask: "Who is this woman? Why is she happy?" Invite responses, leading kids to retell story. Say: "We can know Jesus died on the cross and is alive." 13aUse Worship Guides (7 minutes) Worship Guides, markers Distribute materials. Lead children to complete the activities. 14 Make Application (3 minutes) Say: "When I point to you, say 'Jesus is alive!' Say it loudly, softly, like a baby, like an announcer on TV, or any way you like! Just be sure you sound very happy!" Point to the children and invite them to speak. Conclude: "We can know Jesus died on the cross, was put in the tomb, and is now alive." 15 Move About the Room (4 minutes) Instruct: "Everyone stand up. We'll walk slowly around the room like we are sad. When you hear me say 'Jesus is alive,' get excited. Shake hands, skip, or high-five someone. Walk like you are really happy." Encourage children to walk slowly and sadly. Say: "Jesus is alive." Remind children to be happy. Repeat the game several times. Say: "Jesus' friends were sad when Jesus died.

Bible times clothing for each child, musical instruments, CD with the tune of "God Is So Good" (instrumental), CD player Teacher Tips Add different songs to sing while marching around the room.

Worship Through Arts and Crafts Make Finger Puppets Say: "We discovered Jesus died on the cross and was placed in a tomb. When His friends returned to the tomb, they discovered Jesus was gone! The big, heavy stone had been moved and Jesus wasn't there anymore. Jesus is alive!" Distribute materials. Instruct: "Let's make finger puppets of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter. You can choose to draw a person on the blank puppet if you like. You might want to draw an angel or Jesus. We will also make pretend tombs." Allow children to decorate the tomb paper and cut out the finger puppets. Help each child trace around the lid and cut out the paper circle to use as a stone. Attach the stone to the tomb by taping one end of the yarn to the stone and the other end to the tomb paper. Guide children to tape the finger puppets to fit their fingers. Assist children as they tape the cups to the backs of their tomb papers. Encourage children to play out the story of John, Mary Magdalene, and Peter finding the empty tomb. Each time they find the empty tomb, shout, "Jesus is alive!" Direct kids to put their finger puppets inside their tombs to carry home. Pray. Worship Through Dramatic Play Parade Around the Room Say: "Who can tell us the special event that happened in our Bible story?" Encourage responses.

We will dress in these clothes, then choose instruments to play." Distribute Bible clothing to children and help as needed. Explain: "Let's parade around the room. As we march, let's sing a song about Jesus being alive. We'll sing the words Jesus is alive over and over. Sing along when you know the tune." Distribute instruments. Lead kids to sing while they march and play instruments. Sing the words to the tune "God Is So Good." Invite children to switch instruments and march again. March several times around the room and then collect instruments. Say: "We discovered Jesus died on the cross and was placed in a tomb. When His friends returned to the tomb, they discovered Jesus was gone! The stone was moved and Jesus wasn't there anymore. Jesus is alive!" Pray. Lead kids to remove Bible times clothing and clean the area. Week of April 8, 2012 Page 5 of 16

Worship Through Games Run to Tell Form four teams. Give teams different stickers. Direct two teams to stand in separate single-file lines. Guide the other two teams to line up in separate single-file lines facing the first two teams. Say: "The goal of our game is to tell someone 'Jesus is alive.' The first person on the [name sticker color or type] team will run tell the first person on the [name sticker color or type] team. The first person on the [name sticker color or type] team will go tell the first person on the [name sticker color or type] team. After you have told or heard, go to the back of your line. Everyone moves up in line as others go to the end of the lines." Help the children go tell and move to the ends of the lines. Congratulate teams when done. Explain: "This time, we will go to opposite teams. The [name sticker color or type] team will go tell the [name sticker color or type] team. The [name sticker color or type] team will go tell the [name sticker color or type] team. Remember to go to the back of your team's line after telling or hearing. Also, watch for the runners. We will be crossing paths." Run the relay. Lead everyone to be seated. Say: "We discovered Jesus died on the cross and was placed in a tomb. When His friends returned to the tomb, they discovered Jesus was gone! The big heavy stone had been moved and Jesus wasn't there anymore. Jesus is alive! Let's pray, thanking God for Jesus." Pray Worship Through Exploration and Discovery Sort Living and Non-Living Pictures Say: "This is such a great day because we learned Jesus is alive! Not all things are living. To be living, something must need air, water, and food. I'll give everyone a magazine. Choose and cut out pictures of things that are living and non-living. Glue your pictures to the correct sides of your papers [display]. If you are not sure if your item is living or non-living, I will be glad to help you." Distribute magazines, papers, scissors, and glue sticks. Monitor as each child cuts out pictures. Offer assistance as needed. Say: "You may tear out your pictures instead of cutting if you like." Talk about the Bible story as children work. Comment on the chosen pictures. Lead children to stop and clean the area. Say: "Let's show our pictures to everyone." Invite children to show their pictures, commenting on different pictures. Conclude: "Jesus is alive. On which side would we put a picture of Jesus? The living side.
