Life of Jesus dominoes (print out and play!)

The children in our 8-11s group have really enjoyed playing with the Names of God dominoes I made a while back so I thought I'd make a different set.

These dominoes are suitable to help open up a conversation about Jesus and his life as the symbols used are all clues to part of his story.  I think they'll be particularly useful at our lunch time club at school where we spend a lot of time answering children's questions and the children are not necessarily Christian.  It will also be useful to see if the children can identify why we have used particular symbols!

Symbols used: 

Star- Jesus birth

Dove- Jesus' baptism/ Holy spirit

Sheep- represents the parables Jesus told

Wave of water- miracles of Jesus such as the calming of the storm/ Jesus is the living water

Loaves and fish- represent the miracles of Jesus

Palm leaves- Palm Sunday

Bread and wine- last supper

Crosses on the hill- crucifixion

Sunrise- Easter Sunday/ new life

Crown- Jesus the King

I printed off two sheets and then laminated them to make one set.
