Use this secular YouTube video to hold a creative discussion with the children about the Bible story of Jesus, Barabbas and Pontius Pilate
Three baby pigeons stir each other up to go looking for a tasty snack. After a lot of effort they don't succeed and end up disappointed with only a worm!
This idea is part of a complete Sunday School lesson on the Bible story of Jesus, Barabbas and Pontius Pilate ( Matthew 27: 1-2, 11-26 ).
How does this film apply to today's Bible story?
