Game Variations
• Have the teams wrap up
youth leaders instead of one

• Instead of teams, split the
group into pairs. You can also
make the partners wrap each
other before they can win so
EVERYONE ends up as a
mummy.
• Set a timer and award the
group that has the best
mummy at the end of the
time.

Application
When many people think about
mummies, they think about Halloween
costumes, scary movies, and Egypt. But
the Bible also has a story about
someone who was wrapped up like a
mummy. His name was Lazarus and his
story can be found in John 11: 1-46.
When Lazarus died, Jesus brought him
back to life. But his sisters were not
SCARED, they were very happy. Jesus
had brought their brother back and he
was the same person he was as before.
Jesus did it so that he could show how
powerful God is and also so we could
know for sure that he will also bring us
back to life in heaven if we believe in
him and trust him.
