Okay, not much here yet, but
here's a little something get started.
- Resurrection Eggs - yeah, I've used these many, many times.
- Mrs. Patty Cake's Easter video - it actually goes through
the Resurrection Eggs - for preschoolers.
- We have had an Easter Egg Hunt prior to the morning service. We
have begun having the hunt in our gym, because of wet ground and
cool weather. We invite adults and older kids to be "Easter
Trees." They hold the candy filled plastic eggs, that we
provide, in their hands, or balanced on their shoes. This adds
to the fun, and also give kids things to run around and involves
others in the fun.
- This year (2007) beginning three weeks prior to Easter, we
have had a family Bible class and have taken the Resurrection
Egg contents, and have told part of the Passion story. Each
week, myself and another minister came in Bible character and
pulled an item from our basket and walked through the story. We
usually did three or four items from the Resurrection eggs each
week. We did find full size versions of the items and added a
few things to it. On the Passover item, we had foods from the
Passover meal for families to taste. On the third week, we gave
families a packet we called "Clothes pin theater" and using
wooden clothes pins, let them act out the story. (Clothes
Pin Theater kit ideas coming soon)
