This story comes from our special book which we call the Bible.

Place Bible beside you. Roll the purple ribbon in front of you.
Purple is the colour for getting ready. Lent is a time for getting ready.
At this time in the Church’s year we remember and tell the stories of some of the things which Jesus said and did. This story is about the Last Supper
Jesus had with his friends before he died.

Hold Visual 1 in front of you.


During the Last Supper, Jesus got up from the table and tied a towel around his waist.
Place Visual 1 on the purple ribbon to your far right facing the children.

Hold Visual 2 in front of you.


He knelt down and poured water into a large bowl.

Jesus then began to wash the disciples’ feet.
He dried their feet with the large towel.

Jesus said to all the disciples, “Do you understand what I have done? I am your teacher and I have washed your feet. Just as I have washed your
feet; you should wash each others’ feet.”

Place Visual 6 on the left of Visual 5.

Point to each of the visuals in order along the story line as you say
We remember what happened to Jesus at the end of his life.
Point to and name each visual.

Pause quietly for a moment, and then begin to wonder together.


Engage with ‘I wonder’, KWL(K/P) p28.

.” I wonder…if you have ever had your feet washed…what it is like to wash someone’s feet…why the disciples were so
shock when Jesus washed their feet…what a servant is…why Jesus did the servants work…what this story means…what
you would have said to Jesus if he wanted to wash your feet…what Jesus meant when he said “Love one another as I have
loved you
Carefully pack story materials into storage box and put on shelf. Ensure that children are watching so they know how to pack the materials away and where to find them.
