yes welcome to my channel where I put up simple ideas to help you teach kids about Jesus.
and today's game what's missing is a really good object lesson
so I'm going to tell you what you need and I've got some teaching tips for you
but first let's have a watch at the kids playing the game so let's have a look
here and I'm gonna take one away and then you're gonna try to guess which one
is missing I turn it around no peeking I'm gonna put one of them away
and you're gonna try to guess the hands up if you know which one is
missing which what is missing what do you think the donkey yes ah what the
donkey had to do with the Easter story remember Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey
he did that's exactly right take another one out hands up if you
think you know oh bread yes and what did the bread symbolize
symbolizes Jesus said that it was his body yes that's right yes
with this game there's a lot of room for further discussion and teaching and the kids
love having a go at hiding the objects - okay he wants to take over from me
the dice?
so who remembers what the dice....
the soldiers gambled to get Jesus' robe. that's right
so here's what you need you need some small
objects or pictures that relate to the Easter story I can place them on a tray
and just cover them with the towel or I have made a game box which is an old
computer box and I covered it with wrapping paper and then I took an old
shopping bag here and I hot-glued a little pocket here so that they could
hide the objects easily in that pocket now you'll notice that a lot of the
objects I've used are the same objects that are used in the Easter egg hunt
tutorial so check that clip out when you have time now I have a couple of
teaching tips for you here when you're choosing the objects to go in this game
be really careful about what you choose in the resurrection egg game they have
lots of objects which are really great but they also have a lot of objects
that are the tools of torture they have the spear the whip the nails and the
crown of thorns but I prefer not to use them instead I'm talking about Jesus's
death I use just a simple little toothpick cross or in this game I can
actually get away with using a larger object so I like using a palm leaf cross
because you know we can relate that back to Palm Sunday
as well the reason I don't use those other objects is because at Easter time
we get a lot of visiting families and their children may not be real familiar
with the events of Easter and I really don't want to cause unnecessary distress
I like to focus on the resurrection part and another thing that you can add in
which I thought about this year's I can add in an angel because the Angels
appeared to the women to announce that jesus is alive you know and the other
thing I thought was I just got some pillow stuffing or cotton balls to
symbolize clouds because why not talk about the 40 days that Jesus lived on
the earth when he arose and the hundreds of people that saw him and then
about the time he went back up into the clouds so you could use that as part
of the game as well as far as organizing this game for larger groups 15 20 kids
you can do it the way I did it last year I took the box and I had the girls first
sit around the box first while the boys stood up around them so the girls played
the game while the boys watched and then we did a swap over halfway through where
the boys were down on the floor and the girls were standing behind him so that's
how I did about 20 kids then I had a class of 35 to even 40 kids I thought
how can I use this game it's such a good game and you know what I did I used tech
yes Tech is a wonderful tool I took a
picture of the objects inside the box I put it up on the screen as you can see
here I did it at Christmas time so these are Christmas objects and what I did is
I had the box in front of the class and I had the picture of what was inside it
there and I called two kids up together and I had been finding the object that
was missing and then they those two kids we talked about the objects and then
they have to hide the next object and then they pick two other kids to take
their place to find the next missing object and you know what I found I found
I actually had their attention really well so you'll be amazed using
technology and using screens really is a good attention focuser
so there's a little tip for you there
so did you like this little what's missing game?
if did give it a thumbs up please and share
it on with a friend and if you'd like more Easter lesson ideas I have been
putting together a playlist of lots of ideas there for you and I've got a lot

to mention I've got a website now so you can download lesson plans and printables
and color sheets as well as some posters that I've been working on for you

printables up on my website for free for you this year
