Explaining Easter to a Child – A Fun and Visual Activity
This would work well with children who may not be reading well yet, especially visual learners.
There’s a story to tell each and every year,
Grab a bag of Jelly Beans and prepare to hear,
The reason we celebrate Resurrection morning,
has to be shared with one and all.
Green is for the branches that they waved
while shouting Hosanna, unashamed
Orange is for the meal they shared
Before Jesus revealed what lay ahead.
Blue is how His disciples felt
When Jesus stood innocent, an unfair sentence was dealt
Black stands for your sins, and mine
The reason why God sent His Only Son to die.
Red is for the Blood Jesus shed
on the Cross of Calvary, for you, His beloved.

White is for the linen that lay,
after Jesus arose on that glorious Resurrection day.
Yellow represents the heavenly home
with streets of gold that God’s children can roam.
Purple celebrates that the King of kings is alive
The hope of Resurrection never dies.
Explaining Easter to a child – Happy Easter! He is Risen!
It’s Easter, and that means it’s time to reflect on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This message has resonated with people for centuries and will continue for years. It is the most powerful message: the message of salvation.
The message is that believing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will give you eternal salvation. As we celebrate Easter this year, let’s take a moment to reflect on the powerful meaning behind this story.

The Easter Story for Kids
The Easter story begins with Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, which prophets foretold for centuries. Christ’s death was not the end of the story, though. Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving He is God’s Son.
This act of love and sacrifice makes Easter a memorable holiday. It is a time to remember that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always hope. Christ’s resurrection reminds us of that.

Easter is also a time to reflect on our own lives. Just as Christ sacrificed himself for our sake, we should be willing to sacrifice for others. We should also remember that we are never alone. Christ is always with us, even in our darkest moments. He is the light that guides us through the darkness.
This Easter, let us all take a moment to reflect on the powerful message of hope at the heart of the Easter story. Remember that no matter what life throws our way, we can always find hope in Christ. Happy Easter—He is Risen!
