decorate like differnt bible times. start with the garden of eden hide eggs among the fruits, then go to the ark, tower of babel, jonah and other stories depending on the age group and time. then enter the new testamet where they start at the manger and go through the life of jesus. go to the cross and hide black eggs then.... have them go to the tomb and find the golden egg hidden in burial clothes. if possible have an actor throught, especiaaly in the end, playing jesus, have him rise( the true meaning of easter-make sure th kidsw know what it is) and maybe jesus can hand them the last egg. it is fun and the kids get the true meaning of christmas along with other bible stories.\n\n   this may not work on such short notice but mayber you can figure something out and it's a possibility for next year. GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!!

First we get up early  and get ready for Easter Service. When we get home two adults hide easter eggs for the children. As they are hunting for the Easter Eggs the adults are B.B.Qing chicken, hamb., hotdogs and Pork chops, with all the trimings. As the children are playing outside the adults are talking inside.We leave the table set and munch on food all day long. As the children count out their eggs we all watch to see who got the lucky egg.( It usually has $10.00 in it, to be used any way the lucky child wants.)

I am not an attorney, but based upon the change from "Easter Vacation" to "Spring Break" and "Christmas Vacation" to "Winter Break" I would think it ill-advised to have much discussion about Easter in a publicly-funded school.  Because Easter is a Christian celebration of the Resurrection of Christ I don't know how that could be discussed in a school setting without offending non-Christian parents, atheists, and so on. \n\nPerhaps the Easter Bunny is a safe topic. The Easter bunny has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.\n \nThe bunny as an Easter symbol seems to have it's origins in Germany, where it was first mentioned in German writings in the 1500s. The first edible Easter bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800s. And were made of pastry and sugar.  http://www.holidays.net/easter/bunny1.htm\n\nThe Easter Bunny is not a religious figure so I would think you could discuss him. I do not think, however, that you can discuss the Easter egg, as it seems to have ties to Christianity.\nSee http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/8149/egg.html\n\nAltough, it depends upon which website you look at regarding colored eggs.  This site says, "Egyptians and Persians used to dye eggs in spring colors and give them to friends as a symbol of renewed life long before Christ was born." http://info.detnews.com/history/story/index.cfm?id=102&category=life\n\nI think I'd play it safe and have a celebration of the return of spring.  :-)

What do we do on Easter.\nUnless your leaving where you are to GO somewhere and hunt eggs.  But egg hunting isn't a destination, so I'm still going with the first question.

I get my classes to role play being sperm and eggs.   That's about as practical as I think you can get!

I always get asked if the Easter bunny is real.\n\nI always tell the children to go ask their parents.

I don't know of a website.  There is a book: Celebrate Easter: Easy Dramas, Speeches & Recitations for Children.  You can find it at Amazon.

Go to church, celebrate the resurrection of Christ.  Teach Sunday School.  The children & grandchildren join us for church, Sunday school and the Easter egg hunt that follows service.  Then we go out to eat & visit.

well I have a few ideas. this is for the children and the adults. if you take the presents that you will be giving everyone and hide them then have a little scavenger hunt. give everyone a piece of paper with a riddle on it (for the children pair them up or keep theirs simple) like, "I'm Big, always cold, if you leave me open things inside will go bad" (answer a frig) so then everyone who has that one will go to the frig and they will find another riddle until they find their gift. that's always a fun one and even though it's kinda childish the adults will love it, it will bring them back to their childhood. I would also suggest having some wine sangria specifically. or you could do a Yankee swap. everyone brings a gift wrap and puts it on a table. then everyone pulls a number. if you have 12 people you would have 1-12 on little pieces of paper everyone picks a number and number one goes picks a gift (no one knows who it's from) then number two goes and they can decided to keep the one they pick or take number 1's gift. and so on until everyone has a gift then once the last one picks number one gets to decide if they want to keep what they have or pick anyone else. then everyone opens them at once and laughs about what they got. I have more ideas but this is getting long. email me and I'll see what else I can come up with

I agree with flash cards, trivia, jeopardy, and maybe set standards for a wanted grade and aim for a prize.(chocolate or candy or gum works for the prize for me) Hope I helped!

Try baseball against the computer. It is a trivia type game that you answer questions about the bible and the game progresses according to your answers.
