DAVID CLUB CURRICULUM - (N2-N4)

Written jointly by GKidz and Dorcas Li Easter Series

Date: 12 & 13 Mar, 19 & 20 Mar, 26 & 27 Mar and 2 & 3 Apr 2016

Theme: Easter (The Last Supper to the Resurrection of Jesus)

Scripture Text: Matthew 26 - 28: 10

Teaching Focus: Death and Resurrection of Jesus

Duration: 4 Weeks

______________________________________________________________________________

Learning Objective for Leaders:

In this series, leaders will continue to be trained to tell the story using the multi-sensory teaching

method. Different props and visual aids will be used to enhance this teaching method.

Skills to be learned by leaders:

1. Storytelling: Proper usage of props, voice variation, facial expressions, children interaction, sequencing or steps in telling a story to the children.

2. Sequencing of a story through association of sounds related to each scene. Examples: Scene 1 The Triumphant Entry - Clippety-clop

Scene 2 The Last Supper - The sound of breaking bread and sipping sound

Scene 3 Jesus on the Cross - Nail hammering sound

Scene 4 Empty Tomb - rooster’s crowing sound and the sound of big stone rolling

3. Learning to prepare props and visual aids: Creating the props used for the story.

Biblical Learning Objective For Children:

The learning objectives for the children are as follows:

1. Remember the Easter Story 2. Understand what is Holy Communion or The Last Supper 3. Understand that Jesus took away our sins 4. Know that Jesus died and rose again i.e. He is Alive! 5. Accepting Jesus as their Friend.

Through the use of visual aids (storyboards) and unique sounds specifically related to each scene of the

story, the children will be able to remember the Easter Story. The below sequence of the Easter story

will help the children to understand that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected on

Easter Day.



(a) The Triumphant Entry

(b) The Last Supper

(c) Jesus on the Cross

(d) Empty Tomb

Scene Activities:

The Easter Story is divided into 4 portions or scenes, namely (a) The Triumphant Entry, (b) The Last

Supper (c) Jesus on the Cross and (d) Empty Tomb. During story time the children will “travel” from one

scene to another, listening to the Easter Story as it unfolds in a “time-line” fashion.

As children of this age group learns well by repetition, telling the same story over the period of 4 weeks

will help them to remember it. Team Leaders should try to assign leaders to attempt to teach a different

portion of the story each week so that at the end of the 4th week, all the leaders would have learned to

share the full Easter Story.

Important skill that the children will be learning in all 4 scenes - Association of sound to the

sequencing of the story.

As a way to reinforce and to bring up this skill for the children, on 3rd week and 4th week of this series,

we will be using the different sounds in this story for you to start each scene.

Ldr 1: Let’s begin—In our Bible

story, Jesus went to Jerusalem. He

entered the city on a donkey! When

a donkey moves, the sound goes like

this: “Clippety-clop, clippety-clop”.

Now, I want all the children and

leaders to make the “Clippety-clop,

clippety-clop” sound as Jesus

entered into Jerusalem on the

donkey.

Ldr 2: Move the “Jesus on

donkey” picture along the floor

round the circle formed by the

children. Be careful not to get

too near to the children as they

might reach out to grab the

picture. Remember to also make

the “Clippety-clop, clippety-

clop” sound as the picture

moves.

Ldr 1: The people were excited to

see Jesus and wanted to welcome

Him. (Let me see your excited face)

Some people spread their coats on

the road. This showed that they

welcomed Jesus as if He were a king.

Ldr 2: Give out “coats” picture

cards to children and direct

them to lay the “coats” down on

the floor. Use the “Jesus on

Scene #2 – The Last Supper

Children will be introduced to the Holy Communion meal or The Last Supper as the Lord served it on the

night he was betrayed. The symbolism of the bread and the wine will be told to the children. The

children will NOT partake the Holy Communion elements because they have not yet said the sinner’s



prayer, but will watch the leaders and adult partaking them as part of the teaching or role model for

children. (Please do not give the Holy Communion elements to kakas or parents who are not believers).

Logistics needed for Role Play:

1. Holy Communion cups (small plastic cup) with red marking over it (to look like filled with wine) 2. The 3 laminated pictures (Basket of bread, individual bread and Jug) 3. Masking Tapes (to fold them as double sided tape and paste them on the ‘broken’ bread)

Basket of bread Individual bread

Jug

Skills (Children): Focusing, self-control, listening to instructions, vocabulary and pretend play

Skills (Leaders): Conducting communion, storytelling, team teaching, usage of props.

Role Play (Scripture text is taken from Matthew 26:26-27 (NIV)):

Leader: Children, after Jesus entered into Jerusalem, He and His 12 disciples had supper or dinner

together. This was to be Jesus’ last supper before He died on the cross. (take out the “baskets of bread”)

After giving thanks, Jesus took the bread and broke it and said, “Take and eat; this is my Body” (to break

the bread and please highlight the “cracking” sound as you tear the bread from the “basket”) .

Children, I will be walking around and pass the bread to you, you will take out one piece of the bread

and hear the “cracking” sound.

Then He took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to all His disciples, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

This is my Blood of the covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (hold the cup

and drink and make sipping sound).

Children, as I take the cup up and pretend to drink, let’s make sipping sounds.

Partaking of Holy Communion (to be distributed out by leader who is teaching in the small group):

Logistics needed:

1. Holy Communion elements: 60 elements per week (TC), 36 elements per week (Suntec)

2. Plastic bag (for disposing of used cups)

Leader: This meal is a very serious meal called Holy Communion and only Christians who believe that

Jesus died on the Cross for them can take this meal. In our church, when we take the Holy Communion

we are given this (show the children the real Holy Communion elements - cup with biscuit and grape



juice). It is a small size version of the Holy Communion. In our church, only children who are 10years

old and above and have a personal relationship with Jesus take this serious meal called the Holy

Communion.

When Christians eat this bread and drink this cup, we are remembering the death of Jesus until He

comes again so now I am going to give this Holy Communion element to those adults here who have

Jesus in our hearts and have said the sinner’s prayer.

Leaders please ask parents and kakas whether they are believers by having them raise their hands.

Only give the elements to those who are Christians and have raised their hands.

Leader: Adults, we are going to have our Holy Communion here in David Club. Children, you are to

watch quietly as we partake the Holy Communion. As you watch the adults, you are not to snatch the

elements from them. This is a serious meal for adults who are Christians.

Leader to distribute the Holy Communion elements. Wait for everyone to be ready.

Leader: Adults, let’s quieten our hearts, confess our sins and ask God to forgive our sins. Wait for one

minute, then say the below prayer:

“Jesus we thank you for dying on the Cross for our sins. We want to continue to love and serve You.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen!”

Leader: Adults, let’s partake the Holy Communion elements together. Thank you God for the bread

which is Your Body broken for us. Thank you God for the cup which is Your Blood to wash away our sins.

Additional Activity for Week 3 & 4 only: To help children to associate the sounds that are in Scene 2,

please do the below activity before you teach in this scene.

Ldr 1: Now let’s see if we can remember the story. Tell me what is happening when I make the “Cracking Sound?”

Children should be able to respond by telling you that it is the breaking of the bread.

Ldr 2: Demonstrate the breaking of the bread.

Ldr 1: Very good children, now tell me what is happening when I am making the “Sipping sound?”

Children should be able to answer you by saying that you are drinking the wine at the Communion.

Ldr 2: Demonstrate the drinking of the wine.

Scene #3 – Jesus On the Cross (Experiential Learning)

Children will be taught what sin is and that we need Jesus to save us from our sins. In this scene, we will

highlight three sins that this age group struggles with namely disobedience, anger and selfishness. They

will be encouraged to bring these “sins” to Jesus, by sticking these sin labels on the cross.



Logistics needed:

1. Board with picture of the cross. 2. Laminated picture of Jesus #1 3. Stickers with the words “Disobey”, “Anger” and “Selfish”

(new sets must be replaced weekly) 4. 3 units of thumb tacks 5. Stapler and a pen (this is to create nail hammering sound) 6. Sound clip on thumb drive – nail hammering sound

Skills (Children): Focusing, self-control, listening to instruction and fine motor skills (pasting of stickers)

Skills (Leaders): Role playing, communication, team teaching and usage of props.

Script for Leader Actions

Ldr 1: Children, I have two leaders here. This is

mummy and this is Tommy. Mummy asks Tommy

to come over here, but Tommy refuses. Now when

Tommy says “No”, he is disobeying his mum.

When we disobey anyone who is taking care of us,

we are sinning against God!

I have disobeyed my mum too! ____________

(Name of Leader) has also sinned! Sin is choosing

to do what we want!

Ldr 2: Hold up the “Disobey” sticker and

paste it onto self.

Ldr 1: Have you disobeyed too? Yes? Then you

have sinned too! Paste on yourself like what

Auntie / Uncle (Name of Leader) did.

Ldr 2: Give out “Disobey” stickers” and

direct children to also paste onto

themselves.

Ldr 2: Hold up the “Anger” stickers and

paste onto self. Give out to children and

direct them to paste onto themselves.

Ldr 1: Have you ever snatched someone’s toys?

(get someone to do the role play) Have you ever

been selfish and refused to share? Oh dear… that

is sin too!

Ldr 2: Hold up the “Selfish” stickers and

paste onto self. Give out to children and

save ourselves. We need help! We need Jesus to

save us!

Ldr 2: Nod and agree with Ldr 1




Ldr 1: Jesus is able to take away our sins because

when He was nailed on the cross and died, our sins

were paid for. Jesus died on the cross to take away

our sins – all the bad things that we had done.

Ldr 1: Make nail hammering sound as Ldr 2 “nails”

the thumb tacks. Jesus’ hands and legs were nailed

on the cross and it was painful (more hammering

sound). But Jesus loved us so much that He

willingly bear our sins in pain.

Ldr 2: Using the 3 thumb tacks nail one

thumb tack onto the right wrist, the second

one onto His left wrist and the third one

onto His feet

Ldr 1: Come let’s ask Jesus to save us. If you know

you have disobeyed or are angry easily or have

been selfish, and you know Jesus loves you and

want to take away your sins. You can pray this

prayer after me, line by line. (Note: This is the

moment we can lead David Club children to Jesus)

“Dear Jesus, Thank you for loving me. I am so

sorry I have sinned by doing all the bad things.

Please forgive me and save me. Please take away

my sins. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Ldr 2: Direct children to bow their heads

and close their eyes and fold their hands

together.

Ldr 1: Yes, Jesus will take away our sins. This

means our sins can be removed. Jesus can take

away our sins. Here children, come and paste your

sin stickers unto Jesus.

Ldr 2: Hold up the picture of Jesus and let

the children paste their sin stickers onto

Him.

Ldr 1: We have no more sins! Who has our sins

now? Jesus! Jesus has taken away our sins and put

it upon Himself. “Yeah!” “Yeah!” Only Jesus has

the power to do that; “Behold the Lamb of God

that takes away the sin of the world!”

(1 John 1:29, NIV)

Ldr 2: Point to Jesus on the cross.

Ldr 1: Come let’s thank Jesus together. Repeat
