Hey Moms!
Looking for a creative Bible game you can do with your kids to celebrate the Easter season? This spin on the traditional Easter Egg Hunt can help instill the crucifixion and resurrection story to your kids.
Easter Egg Hunt
1. Using a word processor, type out verses from the Easter Story using verses from Matthew 26-28, Luke 24-26 or Mark 14-16 ) However, don’t include the references.
2. Print the verses and cut each verse into a slip, fold the slips and place one slip into each of the plastic eggs ( I add candy to the eggs as well! )
3.Hide the eggs and let your kids find them.
4.Once your kids have found all the eggs, have them take the Bible verses out and place them in the order in which they happened according the Easter Story.
If your kids are younger and aren’t able to read, or read well, you can use pictures from clipart to place in the eggs instead. For example, go to “images” on your computer and type in phrases such as “Jesus being arrested clipart,” Jesus on the cross clipart” or “the stone being rolled away clipart.” Print the pictures, cut them out, and place them in the eggs. However, if your kids can read, following are some of the verses I use from the Easter Story.
I hope this gives you some ideas on how you can make this Easter special for your family as you celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior!!
Love,
Jeralyn
