• Using a large bulletin board,
place pins strategically to
outline a cross.
• Wind a piece of string around
the pins to create the form of
the cross.
• Cut small pieces of black or
brown construction paper.
• Explain to the children that
Jesus died for our sins – things
we do but know we shouldn’t
do.

• Talk about the things we do that
are wrong – sinful.
• (e.g. lies, taking something that
doesn’t belong to us, hitting
someone, talking bad about
someone, etc) Let everyone
write their sins on the small dark
pieces of construction paper
(one sin per piece) and pin it
within the outline of the cross.
• Encourage everyone to add
more of these pieces as they
reflect on their sin, and when
new sins are remembered.

Take off the sin papers, leaving the
pins in place. These pins hold the
memory of our sins which Jesus
died for, and will now be used to
hold decorations.

Create flowers out of construction
paper and pin them on the cross
with the same pins. An artificial
vine with flowers could also be
wound around the pins to create
the triumphant cross.

The sin papers are then burned by
the Easter fire: a white candle
symbolizing the new beginning we
have in Christ.

Variation
Instead of construction paper, use
pieces of “flash paper” available
from a local magician’s shop.
When touched to a flame “flash”
paper vaporizes in a flash of fire
and leaves nothing behind.
Warning: Have a teacher touch the
papers to a flame and quickly let
go to avoid getting burnt.
