Ideas for exploring and creatively retelling the story of the ten lepers healed by Jesus in Luke 17.11-19.  Using finger mime, song and for older children, drama

Finger tale for younger children
One day, Jesus was walking along, going into a village (walk fingers along a table) . He met ten men (hold up all your fingers) . They stayed away from him because they had a terrible disease called leprosy, and they didn’t want him to catch it too. But they still wanted Jesus to help them. So they shouted at the tops of their voices, ‘Jesus, Master, have pity on us!’ They knew that Jesus was the only one who could help them.
