Are you looking for meaningful activities to add some "meat" to the sugary fun  of an Easter egg hunt?

Consider making your Easter egg hunt a morning-long family and friend event and incorporate activities such as those outlined in our Holy Week "Reboot." We have suggested three easy to lead, family-friendly activities plus a church family Seder (or consider expanding the Seder activity and use a Seder script  to add a bit of traditional storytelling to your potluck lunch?)

At our Planning for Lent and Easter Coffee Chat, member @Debbie Reiniche shared how her church made an Easter egg hunt into a full-fledged program: they did a rotation on a Saturday; families invited people from the community to attend. Everyone gathered in the sanctuary and kids were given color-coded wristbands to divide them into four groups; parents had to stay with their children as the groups visited the four activities. In the sanctuary the story was shared using resurrection eggs. In the kitchen, the groups made resurrection rolls; another group did crafts. There was an Easter egg hunt outside (with four different sections for the four groups to visit in turn). This arrangement allowed the parents to hear the story as well, and grownups had the opportunity to interact with other adults as they helped their kids.

What does your church do to share the Gospel along with the candy-filled eggs?
