Easter Children’s Drama
A dramatic engagement for all ages in the Easter story.
This drama is designed to be easy to do, with no rehearsal. It moves around several 'scenes' of Easter and involves all the children in a memorable way.
The kids move around different places in the church, preferably outside and inside. The spaces you need to have prepared are:
1: The ‘Upper Room’ … a lounge with cushions or chairs, with a table set with bread and juice
2: ‘Gethseme’ … preferably outside under a tree, or path/verandah. No props required.
3: Pilate’s court … a lounge, with a large chair for Pilate
4: ‘Golgotha’ … we nailed the wooden cross into a large tree outside and this worked well.
5: Tomb … we used a large storage cupboard. If outside could be a shed or cover over a space under a bush? Have something to lay Jesus’ body on, e.g. a mat or row of chairs
6: back in the Upper Room again.
