Invite the children to choose a puppet to use to help you to tell the story: Jesus, two disciples, colt, crowd.
Jesus and his disciples came near to the city of Jerusalem.
Jesus sent two of his disciples to collect a colt or young donkey.
When they had got the donkey, Jesus rode on it into the city of Jerusalem.
Large crowds gathered.
They threw their coats on the ground and cut branches from the trees.
As Jesus entered the city, the crowds cheered:
‘Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest heaven!’
