Teaching the Meaning of Easter

by Marie on March 12, 2008

Here is a great game that I’ve played with my kids to help teach them the real meaning of Easter (that it’s about more than just the yellow Peeps and Cadbury eggs). Follow the directions from the website Time and Seasons to play this fun egg game.

We have fun every year opening these eggs and learning about Jesus Christ. It is a great Family Night activity.

This is a nice post, it is important as the kids hunt for the Easter eggs to know what Easter is all about. I will share this with my children this Easter. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marie, I found your website a couple of days ago, and I had so much fun making the St. Patty’s craft with my kids. Thanks for sharing! You have a lot of fun ideas. This Easter one looks interesting but when I clicked on the link you provided, there is no website there. I was wondering if you could let me know more about this Easter game you have posted. Thanks, Mary
