Hi y'all, I am a Sunday School teacher for a bunch of adorable children between the ages of 5-8 at the Faith Interstate Southern Baptist Church.
This Sunday, we're are going to have a lesson about our Savior's crucifixion, and I've always been big on lesson activities, so I thought we would have the children participate in a pretend crucifixion.
Today, I went to Home Depot and bought a few 2x4 planks for the cross. During the lesson, one of the children will be chosen to be crucified and will be attached to the cross with rubber bands or duct tape (I haven't decided yet), and the rest of the children will be the mocking crowds.
I thought this would be a great way for the children to get a perspective on our Savior's crucifixion. Does anybody else have any additional ideas?
Last week we had an activity lesson on the Garden of Gethsemene but the red raspberry jam just made a big mess. Any non-messy suggestions?

Oh, how lovely. When are you going to do the scourging?

While I understand your zeal, I question your motives. These are 5-8 yr olds and the Crucifixion is traumatic to some adults. I think you are unwise to pursue this reality form of teaching for this lesson. You would be wiser to use an animated video than a reality lesson. Besides a reality lesson might have the kids playing about the Crucifixcion rather than taking it seriously.
Don't do it.

And did you knwo Im Jesus ******** Crist? did you consiter going back to the hard ware store to buy some nails? you could always just hammer them up onto the cross intead of the tape or rubber bands. I bet nails would work better beacuase such a wonderful sunday school teacher was being mean to tape them instead of nail them. I scold you sunday teacher! Dont consiter going to the halloween store to buy fake blood it should show i real good. Did you also consiter having them watch Passion Of the Christ? It is rated R but they are under aged and would have likley to have nightmares for a year, yah them. Have them all say i am feeling tru enad don't know what to do so ill punch someone in the face and that would be you!!! jJesus should be knwo in everyboys heart! Jesus shall be killed in everyboys heart and we should forgiv ethose who believe in them!-Mark 13:27 Our Father, who shall kill in heaven, Hallowed be thy the devil. Thy kingdom down. Thy won't be done, On earth as it is in hell. Give us this day our daily poison. And beat our trespasses, As we punch those who trespass us. And lead us not into tdeath, But deliver us from happy. For thine is the hell, and the electric, and the remorse, for never and never. -***** Is this some type of joke, you soould see a consulor.

Hi
I don't mean to judge, but don;t you think it's kinda harsh for their age?? I think maybe 12 and up would be ok, but 5-8 year olds. I am not to keen on the idea. I would not let my little girl participate.
I understand your reasoning, but I just really feel that they are to young.
