Palm Sunday

29/03/2026

 

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week and remembers the day Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, and people welcomed him by waving palm branches and shouting “Hosanna!”

Ways to Celebrate Palm Sunday in Early Years Settings

Story Time with Visuals

  • Use simple storybooks, flannel boards, or props to tell the Palm Sunday story.

  • Keep language clear and age-appropriate (e.g., “Jesus rode into town and the people were so happy to see him!”).

Make Palm Leaves

  • Use green paper to cut out palm shapes or let children trace their hands and cut them out to make a palm leaf.

  • Children can wave them during story reenactment.

Art & Craft Activities

  • Palm-themed finger painting.

  • Make donkey masks or puppets.

  • Decorate a large banner with the word “Hosanna!”

Celebrating Palm Sunday can support:

  • PSED – Understanding feelings, empathy, belonging.

  • CL – Listening and attention, story comprehension.

  • EAD – Creative expression through art, music, and movement.

  • UW – Learning about cultural and religious communities.
