Getting ready
Age & adult help
Reading questions, comparing answers and taking turns are the main demands once the cards are prepared.
An adult prepares the cards and can read questions and answer choices aloud for younger participants.
What you’ll need
Printer, paper or light card, scissors or an adult-operated paper trimmer. A laminator is optional for reuse.
Time & preparation
Preparation of one card set. Allow an additional 10–20 minutes for a short game or discussion.
Age is an editorial estimate for the motor and reading demands of this format. Difficulty, completion time and suggested tools are planning estimates, not build-tested.
Check the file before you print for a group, and allow for any extra help the kids might need.
Printing tipsThe story behind the craft
Bible passage: John 20:1–18
Mary Magdalene finds Jesus’ tomb open and later remains outside weeping. At first she does not recognise Jesus; when he calls her by name, she recognises him and goes to tell the disciples.
Main takeaway: Mary’s encounter moves from grief to recognition and sharing the resurrection news.
While you use the cards
Read one question at a time and look back at the passage when an answer needs explaining.
Pause at the question about why Mary is weeping and at Jesus speaking her name. Keep her experience distinct from a general summary of every Easter account.
Allow younger learners a partner or an oral answer. Older learners can explain the evidence for an answer rather than relying only on the answer guide.
Questions to explore
- Why was Mary crying?
- What helped her recognise Jesus?
- What message did she take to the disciples?
