Resurrection Eggs

We are big fans of Resurrections Eggs. We have used them with our kids, and in our kids ministry for years. Resurrection Eggs helps you tell the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. Each plastic egg contains a small item that helps tell part of the story. The storybook leads you and your kids through the story from Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday!

Resurrection Eggs is great to use as a Holy Week Family Devotion, opening one egg at a time and reading the corresponding page from the story book. You can also save the eggs for Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Gather the kids together around the table or on the floor and have a time of sharing God's "Good News!" Or invite some neighborhood kids over and and share the story with them. It's a great way to tell the story of Jesus' love and sacrifice!

Celebrate Holy Week

​A number of years ago, Focus on the Family published an article that shared some simple, but fun ideas for celebrating Holy Week as a family. With age appropriate helps, you can set aside some time to remember and reflect on Jesus and his sacrifice throughout the week. We've tried to locate the resources mentioned in the post, and have listed them below.

You've Been Egged

It's not what you might be thinking. Growing up, if you were going to "egg" someone, it meant that you we're picking up a dozen raw eggs, and throwing them at someone or some thing. That's not what this is. This is about blessing someone with some Easter fun.

This is a really fun activity that your kids might really get excited about. The short of it is this, you plan a egg hunt for a neighbor with kids. You hide the eggs on the front lawn, around the back yard, or somewhere where the kids can hunt and find the eggs.

Easy to put together and really fun to do, click on the link below to visit Pinterest, and a ton of posts with details and a free, downloadable printables of the EGGED activity that you can use.
