Appendix 1
Godly Play Script
Jesus Last Supper: Luke 22:7-23
Children are seated in a semi-circle around the teacher, quiet and ready to listen to the story. The teacher will have
the materials hidden in a box until they are to be used for the story.

1. Teacher will place the bible in front of them.
This story comes from our special book, the Bible.

2. Place a brown piece of felt onto the ground to represent the path on the way to the city and place Jesus, Peter
and John onto the path.
The day before Passover, Jesus had asked Peter and John, his two disciples to prepare the Passover meal.
Peter had asked Jesus: Where do you want us to make preparations for it? Jesus had instructed them to
find the man carrying a jar of water and ask if they may have the supper in the mans guest room. And so they
did as they were instructed.
3. Put Jesus back into the box, Move Peter and John to the other side of the path and place the other man next
to them.
Peter and John had found the man and said to him: The teacher asks you: Where is your guest room? Where
may I eat the Passover with my disciples? The man had showed them where the room was and Peter and
John started to make preparations for the Passover.
4. Place a green rectangular piece of felt on the ground to represent the table. Then place the 12 disciples along
one side of the table and place Jesus in the middle of them.
When it was time for the Passover, Jesus took his place at the table and said to his disciples: I have eagerly
wanted to eat this Passover with you before I suffer because I will not be able to eat it until the kingdom of
heaven has been fulfilled.
5. Place a piece of bread on the felt table.
Jesus then lifted up the loaf of broad and after giving thanks he said: Take this all of you, share it among you
and eat it. This is my body which will be given for you. Do this in memory of me.
6. Place a cup on the felt table.
Jesus then lifted up the cup of wine after supper and he said: This cup of wine is the new covenant in my
blood. But when I am gone, the one that will betray me is with us on the table. The disciples then started to
ask one another which one of them it could be.
7. Carefully place all the materials back into the box and read the I wonder questions as the students continue
to sit quietly in a semi-circle whilst the teacher may turn on quiet music to allow the students think about their
responses to the questions.
I wonder how it felt to be Jesus, knowing that he was going to get betrayed by one of his friends
I wonder how the disciples felt knowing that Jesus was going to leave them
I wonder if the disciples understood what Jesus was doing
I wonder what Jesus meant by the words: This is my body which will be given for you.
I wonder why Jesus lifted up the bread and wine before he spoke about them
