![]() Nostalgia aside, the craft for this set of readings (which you can find, of course on ) was refined over time. To this day, that bunny is still, “Martha bunny,” and I love getting to tell my kids why around this time every year. A stuffed bunny of my sons happened to be nearby, and was dubbed, “Martha” for these reenactments. We each took turns being the different parts. We kept the lesson alive at home, playing, “Lazarus, come out!” under a kid table draped with my son’s comforter. I remember her stroking the little felt dress over and over again. With all the zeal anyone might have when first starting anything he/she believes in, I had even made a list of 10 things to do at home to help bring the Gospel to life for all the members I expected to show up.Īnyway, I just happened to use pink on the Martha felt figure. They included a Jesus, a Lazarus, and of course, Martha and Mary. Why? Well, we had hand-cut felt figures to help tell the story. That week, it was just me and my three (one still in-utero), and Shauna with her two (one still cooking).įor my kids, it was actually a home-altering lesson. All the children loved this game and we didn't have time to do any of the craft activities as they were having so much fun! We have recently joined your site and it is so refreshing to have some new ideas.When our moms’ group started back in 2014, this was actually the first Sunday we covered with “Bible Story Time,” our name for Mass prep with our 0-5 year-olds. We asked the children to make a cave from blankets and chairs and then played the "Lazarus come out, Lazarus go in game". The children may automatically follow you to that side even though you said something different.Ĭomment: Hi, Just to say we used the Lazarus story, crafts and games for our Sunday club last week ,which has children aged 3 - 10 years. When you say "Lazarus go in or go out" always jump to the opposite side. Keep playing until only one child is left. If a child jumps to the wrong side, he is out. ![]() You will try to trick them to jump on the wrong side depending on what you say. When you say, "Lazarus Go In", they should all jump to the "inside" side of the room. Tell them that when you say, "Lazarus Come Out", they should all jump to the "outside of the tomb" side of the room. ![]() Have the children stand anywhere they would like. Designate one side "inside the tomb" and the other side "outside the tomb".

Tell them to take their games home with them and tell their parents and friends about Lazarus, and play the game with their families. If he didn't pick the correct cup, have him try again. He then should say, "Lazarus, come out!" Open up the lid to find out if he picked the right cup. Quickly mix up all the cups and then ask a child to point to the cup that he thinks "Lazarus" might be in. (You can also add a cookie or some other treat.)ĥ. Place a doll in one of the three paper cups and place the paper "rock" on all the cups. Show your children how to play a game with the clothespin dolls. Place the Lazarus paper doll in one of the envelope tombs.Ĥ. Glue the three tomb pictures on three different envelopes. Before class print out patterns and have your children color them and cut them out. If you don't want to use clothespins and cups to make this game, you can use pictures of Lazarus and glue pictures of the tomb on envelopes. Have them crinkle up old newspaper to make rocks to fit in the tops of the cups, or you can just turn the cups upside down and place one of the cups over the clothespin doll.ģ. They can glue pieces of yarn on the head for hair.Ģ. Tell them to draw a sad face on one side and a happy face on the other. Have your children wrap strips of material or paper towels around the clothespins to make Lazarus. Strips of White Cotton Material (If you don't have material, you can use strips of paper towels)ġ.
