I've been reposting this annually since 2010! I try to keep links updated since they tend to disappear as the years pass :).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This year as we've remembered Christ's sacrifice for us in dying on the cross and being raised from the dead, we've done activity/coloring pages from Family Life that I found somewhere online but can't find now...they've been simple and a sweet way to get the story into the forefront of our minds. I read from John as the kids work on their sheets.
Today, a most sacred day, we are breaking in the midst of John 18 to go on a scavenger hunt for the items to be found in the traditional Resurrection Eggs. I've assigned each child an equal number of items, knowing everything can be readily found around the house and yard. This is a fun way to involve older children in the retelling of the events of this week so long ago.
Tomorrow, 'Holy' Saturday (we don't really call it that), we will bake Resurrection cookies before bed, using chocolate we can beat instead of nuts, and Sunday we will enjoy Resurrection rolls in the afternoon.

Complete Easter study free from Calvary Chapel-scroll down on the page to find Triumphal Entry, Jesus is Crucified and Jesus is Risen! Takes some work now (since 2021) but is worthwhile!
