Activity Ideas

Remember, they have short attention spans. Try doing an activity, taking a break then coming back together and do another little part of the lesson. Repetition is excellent at this age. With the exception of our free handout, the following come from Church publications.

Easter Activities- Fun idea for an Easter bouquet and snack time.
Where in the World- Talk about the Resurrection while pointing to the pictures or cut the pictures out and glue them on something like a sheep cut out.
You are Eternal- Make a puppet with this template to explain the resurrection. Its fun to color.
Our Savior and Redeemer- Color and make them into flannel board pictures for your lesson, use as a coloring page, make them into puppets, etc.
Easter Footsteps- Use this map to show where Jesus was the last week of His life and where He was resurrected.
Spring Jelly Bean Mosaic- For the daring... make a butterfly out of candy with this template.
My Story of Jesus- A booklet to color and put together or try this booklet out, He Sent His Son.
Easter Activities- I love the sheep idea although it's probably too difficult for nursery but you could give some out as an Easter present or do it for FHE.
Jesus Christ Lives- Cut these pictures out and put them in order to use during the lesson
Picturing Easter- Fun puzzle to do- I know some are great at puzzles this age and others not. You could do it as a class with a few of the suggested activities as well.
The Easter Story- Pictures to use as telling the Easter story. You can hide each one in a plastic egg and let the kids find the eggs and put the pictures on your board.

Print Easter Coloring Craft

Our free printable coloring craft. This is a two sided print. If you can’t do that at home, usually you can using the copier in the church’s library. It also works well as just a coloring page if you want to skip the stone part. Once printed, fold the two sides together so that the stone comes together and is closed over the tomb. Then when you open it, you see Jesus walking out of the tomb with a banner that says, “Christ is Risen!”. Color it inside and out then practice saying together “Christ is Risen” as you open them up.
