Resurrection Eggs Lesson - 7 ideas

When my kids turned 5, they each made their own set of Resurrection Eggs.  That was over 15 years ago and we still have all 3 sets of Resurrection Eggs to tell the Easter story.

They all loved listening to the Easter story as we opened each egg.  As they grew up, they could use the eggs to tell the Easter story.

Each child decorated their egg carton on their own. . . paint, glitter, wallpaper. . . whatever they wanted to use.

I used a Sharpie to number the eggs.  Let your child place them in number order for a little reinforcement of their numbers.  Fill each egg with appropriate objects to tell Easter story.  For example, a cotton ball symbolizes cloud, nail reminds us of Jesus nailed to the cross, and an empty egg means the tomb is empty on Sunday morning.

What Activities Can You Do for a
Resurrection Eggs Lesson?

  1. Bible: Teach your kids the story of Jesus death & resurrection
  2. Narration: Let your kids narrate the story of Jesus resurrection as they open up each egg
  3. Scavenger Hunt: Hide the eggs around your home. Once all eggs are found, let your kids tell the story by opening up each egg.
  4. Writing: Open the eggs one at a time. Let your child write that part of the story. Combine all 12 items into a story.
  5. Sharing Jesus: Invite your kids’ friends over. Hide the eggs. Once they are found, let your kids tell the story as they open the eggs.
  6. Lapbooking or Mini Book: Make a lapbook or mini book, based on the items in your Resurrection Eggs. Use this printable.
  7. Bible Reading: Read the one Bible verse for 12 days. Each verse goes along with the egg. Get your list of Bible verses in our Activity Guide below.

Fifteen to twenty years later, we still have our Resurrection Eggs.  The egg cartons are waiting for grandkids to visit….someday!

For those moms who don’t have time to do this Easter craft. Yep, life gets in the way so go ahead and buy your Resurrection Eggs

Resurrection Egg Set helps put Christ back into Easter

Here’s what’s included in the set:

  • 1 standard egg carton
  • 12 plastic eggs
  • 12 symbols (1 inside each egg)
  • 1 bilingual storybook (English and Spanish), full color, saddle-stitched paperback
  • 1 set of stickers, full color peel and stick

I also recommend reading Benjamin’s Box, along with your Resurrection Eggs fun activities. It’s the perfect Easter picture book and a way to engage your children with the biblical story of Holy Week in a way they’ll remember? Learn about Jesus along with Benjamin as he follows Jesus through Jerusalem to find out who this man really is.

  1. I made of set of these back when my youngest was small. I was attending a MOP’s group at the time, and we made one. I like the idea of each child making their own set!
    Blessings,

    1. MOPs is a great place to make these eggs. Can also make them in Sunday School or have another family over to make them together.
