Easy level: Find foods of each color - jelly beans count! Put them on the card and then eat them in order, left to right, top to bottom. Medium: Stand in the middle of a room and find something of each color without moving (but you can turn in a circle). Point out each color as you read the poem in order. Hard: Take the card with you on a neighborhood walk. Find every color and check it off!
~~ Rainbow Bingo ~~
RED for the wine Jesus gave his friends, promising a kingdom
to come.
GREEN for the garden where Jesus wept,
knowing he was all alone.
YELLOW for the crown of Pilate,
the governor who washed his hands;
PURPLE for the robe they dressed Jesus in,
once they'd whipped him & made him stand.
Grace Space
ORANGE for the sky as the sun went dark, a cross on his back, thorns on his head.
WHITE for the cloth they wrapped him in,
when his body was taken down dead.
PINK for the Sunday morning dawn,
when the women went back again:
BLACK for the tomb -- empty inside! Jesus is risen! Alleluia! Amen!
