Bonus Activity: Jump It Out

Supplies: Empty tissue box, ping pong balls

Instructions: Each participant in this activity will fill an empty tissue box full with ping pong balls and place it on top of their head. The object of the game is to see who can jump all of the ping pong balls out of the box first.

Connection: “In this game today, you did a lot of jumping and moving! In today’s lesson, we are going to learn about one of the most exciting passages in Scripture—Jesus rising from the dead! When Jesus was raised from the dead, the ground shook and the huge tombstone was rolled away from the grave.”
