Some advice

Tell the stories to the children as you handout each part of the snack. Tell the story of the City of Jerusalem and the road leading to it. Talk about the crowds gathered. The story of the donkey.

Don’t worry about whether kids “eat as they go”! It’s about participating in the story together.
