Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Story

If you want the teacher sheet then click HERE

Jairus is today’s Bible hero because he showed us the gift of Faith.

Essential Teachers notes:
The story of Jairus is a firm Sunday school favourite, but the power of his faith and belief is built up and then tested by the healing of the woman who is bleeding. While this retelling just refers to the woman as an ‘old lady’ it’s important not to miss this part of the story. Please note, that while it is the daughter who gets healed this is a story about Jairus not the daughter.

Main Passage : Luke 8
Additional Passages : Mark 5:21–43, Matthew 9:18–26,

Jairus & Daughter (Luke 8) | Games

The hero in this story is Jairus, he is part of the ‘friends of Jesus’ series as his story directly involves him. Please note this lesson is not about his daughter’s perspective, though the narrative includes her.

Staking them up – this is a simple illustration, give the children blocks or lego and ask them to build a tower that reaches the ceiling, say they have a time limit and then shout go. some children will work together others will try the endeavour by themselves. When they are part way start a 10 second countdown. The task should be impossible, just like the task of raising someone from the dead.

Believable – split the youngsters into small groups and give them 1 minute to list all the things they believe in – start them off by saying I believe the sun will rise tomorrow…

Anna (Luke 2) | Craft

The story of Anna does not hold any obvious craft elements, however, the the idea of contemplation, spending time with God, journeying to a known goal and prayer are wrapped up in the use of labyrinths. There are many ways to make a labyrinth, and while the most memorable are often large scale, finger labyrinths are often used as a way of calming children and those in times of stress. Here are 3 ways to make your own finger labyrinth. Once you have finished your creations try them out using the prayer Jesus taught his disciples.

Anna (Luke 2) | Worksheet

This worksheet about Anna is suitable for older age groups, there is very little writing, but lots of discussion, some speech bubbles to fill with ideas (pictures if you wish), and 2 labyrinths. The worksheet is designed to be printed in colour but will work in grey-scale.

The sheet starts with re-examining the story. it combines comprehension questions with discussion starters. The words of Anna are not recorded anywhere and so it makes a good exercise to imagine the content that was spoken or sung. The labyrinth’s have been started and it’s simply a case of drawing circles from the topmost unattached point or line on the right to the topmost unattached point on the left.
