To celebrate the Ressurection of Jesus, Catholic Icing is hosting an "Easter Link-Up". (see my sidebar for a direct link to the link up) I REALLY wanted to join in and was racking my brain for creative ideas. I came up with a few things and I have some ideas to try out during the entire 50 days. Toad and I have one more week of work/school after this Spring Break and then we will get to do more activities.
Here's what I have so far:
This week I thought we could focus on the actual Ressurection. We talked breifly about the Ressurection and we did some experiments. We discussed how HEAVY the rock that sealed Jesus' tomb must have been. We came to the conclusion that no person could have moved it himself. Only an Angel of God could move it.
Jacob lifting a rock that is WAY smaller than the one that covered Jesus' tomb
Toad lifting the same rock.... it was really heavy
We tried moving the storage building, nothing.....
We tried moving the car. It wouldn't budge
I moved my ideas for the 50 days of Easter to this page also found on the tabs on top of my blog! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteSaw your link at Catholic Icing and am glad I checked you out! What a really cool way to get the point across about the tomb and the rock! Awesome idea I will be using with my 8 yr old boy!

Hi I am here from Catholic Icing. that's a great idea to get the idea across to your children that the huge heavy stone on the tomb was pushed away by Christ. and you've got an excellent agenda for the coming weeks. the doubting thomas topic is great. I may incorporate that too. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteLol! I love the idea of showing kids that the moving of the rock really was a miracle! What a great idea. So glad you linked up! :-)
