Video: Enjoy watching this video with your kids and spend time discussing the following questions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL8R158Ujp4 The Story of Easter (Jesus’ Sacrifice) -Saddleback Kids
1. Why did people not like Jesus?
2. Why was Jesus crucified?
3. Why did Jesus have to die?
4. What happened in the temple after Jesus died? Why is that significant?
5. What verse is quoted at the end of the movie?
Easter Scavenger Hunt: On page two of this document you will find an scavenger hunt to help you recall the
Easter story. Spend time searching around your yard and your house for things that remind us of the Easter
story. Be sure to look up all of the verses that are provided so that your kids can connect this holiday with
God and the Bible. This scavenger hunt was created by our 3s Teacher Val Johnson and her daughters. Be sure
to send her a thank you when you get a chance!
Pray: Prayer time with your kids is an important part of their spiritual growth. It is helpful for them to hear
you pray and learn how to pray on their own. Pray as a family thanking God for his death for us on the cross.
Have the kids recall the video and remember what Jesus did for us. Point out the things on the scavenger
hunt and have them thank Jesus specifically for how He saved us from our sins.
Color and Crossword: on pages three and four of this document are a crossword puzzle and coloring page for
your kids to enjoy completing. Ask the kids questions about what they are coloring or what each of the words
mean as they work on it.
Check off the box when you have found the item:
An Item Made of Silver or Silver Colored: 30 pieces of silver is the amount of
money given to Judas to betray Jesus. (Matt. 26:15)
A Piece of Wood: Jesus was crucified on a cross made of wood. (John 19:17-18)
A Crown or Picture of a Crown: The sign Pilate put on Jesus’ cross said “Jesus the
Nazarene, The King of the Jews.” (John 20:19)
Tear a Piece of Paper from Top to Bottom: This reminds us that the veil in the
temple was torn in two from top to bottom when Jesus died. (Matt. 27:51)
A Piece of Cloth: Jesus’ body was wrapped in a clean linen cloth and put in a new
tomb. (Matt. 27:59)
A Big Rock: A stone was rolled in front of the entrance of the tomb. (Matt. 27:60)
Spices: The women came to the tomb with spices. (Luke 24:1)
An Angel Figure or a Picture of an Angel: An angel rolled the stone away that was in
front of Jesus’ tomb. (Matt. 28:2, 3)
Empty Glass: The tomb was empty. Jesus had risen from the dead! (Luke 24:2-3)
The Number 3: Jesus rose on the third day. (Luke 24:7)
