This version puts an egg-sciting spin on how to share the Easter Story and gives kids an opportunity to embrace their silliness. Why not spread the joy? The story does have one amazing hoppy ending!

Take it to the next level! Challenge the family to...

  • Read/tell the whole story while hopping like a bunny.
  • Find another place in the story to insert an "egg" word or add in another Easter-themed pun.
  • Say "lettuce pray" before eating as a reminder that telling God's Big Story can be fun, too!

Talk About Paradise

How would it be different than today?

  • What do you see yourself doing?
  • Who would you see and hang with?
  • Where would you live?
  • What would you have?

Wait a minute… if God is good and all powerful, why doesn't He give us a place like that now? A place that is perfect - safe, loving, and free of all the bad feels?

Well, this short, kid-friendly video explains:

  • How God did provide a place like that for us.
  • Why we don't live there now (hint: Adam and Eve).
  • Why Jesus' death and resurrection matters
  • How, one day, we can live in a new, perfect world with God, again.

Revelation 21:3-4 describes Heaven as a place where God makes his home with the people. He will live with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, sadness, crying or pain. Things will no longer be the way they are now.

If at any time, kids express interest in receiving Jesus’ free gift of grace, that is good news! Here is a short video and prayer that can guide you through the process.
