Craft Activities on the Last Supper: Do This in Remembrance of Me

Print Friendly and PDF

Use these craft activities to teach kids why we practice communion and what did Jesus do on His last night with friends during the Last Supper. Christ commands us to remember Him and the sacrifice He made on our behalf. We recall how our Lord gave His body and blood for us. These crafts recollect the Lord’s Supper and principles of remembrance. A “last supper plate” uses elements of the story in a decorative display. Describe the disciples and actions with the “Communion diorama” egg carton. Have fun and remember!

Bible Verses or Craft Captions to Consider… (Main Text: Luke 22:14-23)

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.  -Luke 22:19-20

Do this in remembrance….Jesus gave His life for you!

The disciples shared…Jesus shared with them!

Jesus shared Himself with us!

The bread of life…Jesus sustains me!
