3. Activity
1. Form teams of six or more
people.
2. Instruct each team to sit in a
line, one person behind
another.

sounds, or communicate in any
way except to draw on the
person’s back in front of them.
4. Give the first person in each
line a pencil and a piece of
paper.

4. 5. Show the last person in
each line a simple image of
an Easter object. That person
must use his or her finger to
draw the object on the back
of the person in front of him
or her.
6. This continues until the
drawing reaches the first
person in line. He or she must
draw it on the piece of paper.

resembles the original

members change positions if
they wish.

6. Application
Things get distorted the
farther we get from the
source, especially when we
have our backs turned on
God. In today’s world, too
often the meaning of Easter
has degraded to eggs,
chocolate, and bunnies. But
the true meaning of Easter
could be summarized by
John 3:16.
