How to use the Holy Week Draw & Write Sheets
Personally, I like to spend the two weeks prior to Easter to talk to my kids about the events leading up to Jesus’ resurrection. This set of Holy Week Draw & Write Sheets does a good job of breaking down the events of Holy Week for your kids. Each activity sheet focuses on a certain event and creates a story board for your kids to follow. These are the events with scripture marked in order:
– Jesus’ riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. (Matthew 21:9)
– Judas betraying Jesus. (Matthew 26: 14-15)
– Jesus washing the disciples’ feet. (John 13: 14-15)
– The Last Supper and breaking of the bread with disciples. (Matthew 26: 26-28)
– Jesus praying in the Garden. (Matthew 26:39)
– Jesus carrying his cross. (Mark 15:20)
-Jesus died on the cross. (Luke 23:46)
-Jesus resurrected. He lives! (Matthew 28:5-6)
Before we use the draw & write sheets, we like to read storybooks about Holy Week, scripture, and watch videos depicting the events. Depending on the age of my kids, we use a variety of different resources. I suggest reading about the event and discussing it with your kids before asking them to draw a picture and write about it in their own words. If your child has a difficult time writing original works, then encourage them to draw and then copy the scripture from the top of the page.
Multiple Variations Make Teaching Easy
I am all about creating lessons that meet the needs and abilities of my students. Some students loathe writing or are just not in a place where they have the ability to write a lot. Each event offers 4 levels of difficulty. The first offers a larger illustration space with a minimal writing area. In the final option, the writing space is dominant to the illustration space. Choose the variation that works the best for your student.
