Resurrection Eggs

Resurrection Eggs are my favorite way to explain the Easter Story. It is a visual way to walk through the Passion Sunday to Easter Sunday. Each egg contains a small trivia article intended to provide a reminder of a portion of the Biblical story.

You cake make your own Resurrection Eggs by using an egg carton, 12 plastic eggs and small items to represent the Easter Story. Or you can order yours at: Resurrection Eggs: The Easter Story with a Children Booklet.

Instructions 

1. Put Eggs in order. Number the eggs with a marker or a sticky tab in the carton.
2. Read in order the Biblical Scripture. This will help children understand the meaning behind each Resurrection Egg. 
3. After reading the Biblical passage, open the Egg. 
4. Select your own way to open the eggs or have an Egg Hunt to find the Eggs.

Reading Activity

1. Read Benjamin's Box: The Story of the Resurrection Eggs (2008)
to follow the story of the Resurrections Eggs

     Comment about this book: This story goes along with the Egg's activity. If you are Catholic, this book has one sentence in the Last Supper section that refers to the Eucharist as "symbolic" rather than his actual flesh and blood, as in Catholic doctrine. Otherwise, this book is a great visual to teach the Easter Story.
