This is an assembly on Palm Sunday, with a focus on the theme of choosing the right path over the easy one. There is a 4 page pdf plan and a 31 slide animated PowerPoint presentation. (This is not editable. Click 'Read Only' to open) I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children's lives. This assembly involves an anecdote on a childhood squabble and how it can be hard to do the right thing. You can use the example in the plan or use an anecdote from your own childhood. This is then linked to Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. There is a lot of opportunity for children to think about their own experiences and to feedback. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with. The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! Both the plan and PowerPoint can be used on their own or together to suit your needs. You can also jump to different sections of the PowerPoint. It includes the introduction, the anecdote, the Palm Sunday story, Palm Sunday traditions today, the discussion/conclusion and the final prayer.

The Good Samaritan assembly

(0)
This is a plan for an assembly on differences. It is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children’s lives. This assembly uses a school scenario similar to the story of The Good Samaritan. It involves asking for volunteers during the assembly to do some easy acting, something I always find maintains the whole school’s interest. It concludes with a discussion of Jesus’ parable of The Good Samaritan, which I would tell in just a few sentences, though you can use the link to a clip or read from the Bible. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with.
