Play Through the Bible – Jesus’ Triumphant Entry

Our Play Through the Bible activity was pretty simple this time around. We basically just cut out some palm leaves from construction paper and used what toys we had on hand to reenact the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem on the colt.

This activity, combined with story-time, youtube videos, and printable storybooks, worked quite well in teaching my preschool-age daughter about the Palm Sunday story, and she had a lot of fun playing with her “My Little Pony” toys and acting out what she had learned.
































Printable Mini Bible Story Book































Keturah really enjoys making her own little Bible story books. We use the “Take-Home Bible Stories” book, which has lots of mini story books to photocopy and color.












Palm Sunday Activity Book





























Here is another Palm Sunday book idea. I can’t take credit for this book, since the original idea came from the website From the Hive and the pictures are ones that I gathered from different sites across the web (see the links below). The real work was really just compiling it all together in one place.
