Trick - Jesus: Zacchaeus changes completely (Traffic light silks)
Combine a change bag with the traffic light silks to tell the story of the transformation of Zacchaeus
"But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19: 8 - 10
I normally use this trick after I have told the story. It helps me to recap on the story and, without the children noticing, to acutally tell the story twice.
