All the children sitting in the circle look around at each other. The detective stands in the middle of the circle. All the children, except the detective, sit in a circle on the floor, facing in. After all the kids have chosen a card, have them either give the cards back to you, or sit on them, so no one can see who the resurrector is. Blank index cards indicate the children sit in the circle – like the number cards – and “R” is for resurrector and a “D” is for detective. If you would rather not use playing cards, you can make your own “secret cards” for the kids to draw from by using index cards. ![]() The ace is the detective, the king is the resurrector, and the number cards are the other players, who sit in a circle. Make sure the total number of cards you have is equal to the total number of children you have playing. Have one ace and one king in the deck, and make the rest number cards. This game is similar to the sleepover game, “wink murder.” To play, you have a detective and a “resurrector.” To secretly decide who the detective and resurrector are, pass out playing cards to the kids. Have the children play “the sleeping game”.View another simple teaching skit about Lazarus.Compare another lesson plan we’ve uploaded about Jesus raising Lazarus.What are your views of life and death?
