Easter Recipe

Jesus Jelly Bean Bags

Place jelly beans in a snack size ziplock bag and attach the following prayer:

Red is for the blood He gave,

Green is for the grass He made,

Yellow is for the sun so bright,

Orange is for the edge of night.

Black is for the sins that were made,

White is for the grace He gave.

Purple is for the hour of sorrow,

Pink is for the new tomorrow.

A bag full of jelly beans,

Colorful and sweet,

Is a Prayer...is a Promise... Is an Easter treat!

Fun Easter Game

Egg Guess

Instructions

Put several small objects in different plastic eggs.

Tape them closed and set them on a tray.

Encourage the children to shake the eggs and listen carefully to the sound in each one. Try to figure out what is in each one.

After several days talk about the possibilities and then open them up to see the real objects..

Easter Bunny "Skipping Game"

Materials

	1 Easter Basket (A lightweight, DEEP basket works best)
	1 Dozen Plastic Eggs (The fillable kind, but leave them empty)
	1 Bunny Ears Headband (I make a white headband, and attach 2 pink "ears" made from construction paper)
	1 Record or Tape of any Easter Bunny song (such as "Here Comes Peter Cottontail").

Instructions

	All children stand in a large circle. Choose one child to be the "Easter Bunny". This child puts on the "ears", and gets the Easter basket which is filled with the plastic eggs.
	While the record or tape is played, the "Easter Bunny" skips around inside the circle of children, and hands out the eggs. As a child receives an egg from the Bunny, he/she joins the Bunny in skipping in the circle . The Bunny continues to pass out eggs, and is joined by the recipients, until the record is over.
	If the Bunny passes out all of the eggs before the song is done , the Bunny and egg holders just keep skipping to the music until it is over.
	The children love playing this simple game , and it is great for practicing the gross motor skill of skipping. The Bunny could also hop, if you prefer to practice that skill, but the egg recipients should skip to keep the game moving.

Variation: This same game can be played for other holidays as well. Only the record/tape and the props have to be changed to fit the new holiday theme.

Easter Poem

Easter Joy

Jesus came to earth,

To show us how to live,

How to put others first,

How to love and how to give.

Then He set about His work,

That God sent Him to do;

He took our punishment on Himself;

He made us clean and new.

He could have saved Himself,

Calling angels from above,

But He chose to pay our price for sin;

He paid it out of love.

Our Lord died on Good Friday,

But the cross did not destroy

His resurrection on Easter morn

That fills our hearts with joy.

Now we know our earthly death,

Like His, is just a rest.

We'll be forever with Him

In heaven, where life is best.

So we live our lives for Jesus,

Think of Him in all we do.

Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.

Help us love like you!
