Movie Ideas for Mary (Woman) Anoints Jesus
You might try the Jesus film, or the Jesus film for children. Either one of these might include this scene in them. You could talk about what was in her jar, and why Judas was so upset with her using it the way she did. And, of course, why Jesus was so pleased with what she did.

Editor adds: Jesus Film story starts at approx. 37 minute mark and ends a the 41 minutes mark. Version used is Luke 7:37-50.
Matthew - Visual Bible has very short scene of this event. If you have the DVD it is on the 2nd DVD (2 volume set). Search by event - it's #82 "Jesus Anointed at Bethany".
Worthy Is The Lamb (Nest Learning) shows this, it is at the end of Chapter 1 on the DVD. Uses John 12:1-8 version. Posted by Luanne Payne
Why not have the kids make their own video? Might be fun to just show someone's feet (not the whole person) and first have "the woman" pour perfume. Then have each of the kids answer "What extravagant gift will you give Jesus?" and video tape them sitting at "Jesus' feet" telling/showing. Then pass out popcorn and let them watch the video they made. Could even turn into a keeper to show the adults at some point!
Another idea would be to let the kids do a puppet show of this story and video tape it, then play back for them. Posted by Jan FPC Napa
