  • Jesus is our Passover lamb.

Questions to Ask Your Child

  • Who caused the plagues to come and how many did He send?

  • What plague sounds the worst to you? Why?

  • Why do you think the Pharaoh kept changing his mind about letting God’s people go?

  • What did the Israelites have to do to be protected from the 10th plague?

Family Activity

On a piece of construction paper, draw one large circle in the center of the paper for the lamb’s body.  Draw one smaller circle on top of the large circle for the head.  Grab a paper plate for the glue and let your child dip the bottom of small cotton balls in glue and place them in the circle for their lamb’s body. For the eyes, you can glue small circles or draw them with a sharpie. Glue two black rectangles below the circle for the legs of the sheep. On the top of the page write Jesus is our Passover Lamb! This is also a perfect opportunity to share the gospel story with your child! 

Wrap-Up

With each lesson, help your child apply what they have learned by asking, “What do you think God wants us to learn from this story?” If you get stuck with finding the answer, refer to the weekly Teaching Truths.
