Can you make a happy face? Good! Can you make a sad face? Now make a surprised face - open your mouth wide! You're so good at making faces!
Let's tell a story together. You help me by making faces like the people in the story. Ready?
Some ladies went to see where Jesus was sleeping. They were very sad. Make a sad face like the ladies.
When they got there - SURPRISE! The big rock was moved! Make a surprised face! Open your eyes really big!
They looked inside and Jesus wasn't there! The place was empty! Make another surprised face!
Then two shiny men came. The ladies were scared. Make a scared face - hide your eyes!
But the shiny men said, "Don't be scared! Jesus is not here. He's alive! He came back to life!" Now the ladies were happy! Make your biggest happy face!
The ladies ran to tell everyone, "Jesus is alive! Jesus is alive!" They were so happy! Jump up and down like you're happy!
We can be happy too! Jesus loves us. Jesus is alive! Let's all smile and clap our hands!
Dear God, thank you that Jesus is alive. We are happy! We love Jesus. Amen.
