Driediger Easter

For our Easter celebration with the Driediger family, we tried to think of something fun to do with the kids that would still be meaningful. We put our heads together and came up with a pretty neat idea that worked out amazingly well. We took the Easter story verses and matched it up with little tokens that symbolized what that part of the story was talking about. For example, we used a little piece of rose branch for the crown of thorns, a piece of burlap for the material that was used to wrap Jesus' body, a small pebble for the rock in front of the tomb, etc. Each verse went into a plastic egg with a number on it and the corresponding token went into an egg with the same number on it. Then we hid the eggs in the yard. The kids had to find all the eggs and then we sat down and read the Easter story and looked at the tokens. It was a really great way for the kids to understand the story. After the whole story was read, we let the kids find their Easter goodie baskets that were hidden in a different part of the yard. It turned out to be a great day!
