Hang the printable eggs around the room. Provide each student with an activity sheet. Students search around the room for each numbered egg on their sheet and circle the correct symbol for each egg.

My Resurrection Eggs printable book - This provides students with a nice, hand-made keepsake of the Easter story.

Students cut out a page for each egg along with 12 symbols. For each page students read the passage, trace the symbol word, and glue the appropriate symbol on the page.

Cut and Paste Activity - This can be done in conjunction with telling the story with the Resurrection Eggs or afterwards as a review.

Students cut out the symbols along the bottom of the page and glue them on the correct numbered egg. Students can then retell the story in their own words using the sheet as a guide.

Page count includes printable answer keys for each set of pages.

Digital Boom Cards

Use these interactive digital activities after telling the Easter Story with your set of Resurrection eggs to help children review the story and the symbols found in the eggs.

Students read or listen to each page of the story (sound included) and drag the correct symbol to the egg. The last slide reinforces the sequence of events in the story by having students put all 12 of the Resurrection Eggs in the correct order.

These digital cards are self-checking so students know right away whether they are correct.

Please see the preview file for playable samples of each set.

Each deck includes 13 cards.

Jelly Bean Easter Poem & Activities

The Colors of Easter is a fun, meaningful way for children to relate jelly bean colors to the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

Activities include:

• a student-made Easter book
• around the room activity
• art activity
• classroom display

In the around the room activity, students will review and reinforce the symbols for each jelly bean color as well as the order of events in the poem. They also work on recognizing, reading, and writing color words, counting, matching, and writing numbers.

When creating their student-made books students will read and review the poem, trace the color words, and color the jelly beans the appropriate colors. This gives the students a hand-made keepsake and reminder of the poem and its story.

The classroom display will give students a colorful visual to remind them of The Colors of Easter poem. The fact that they created the jelly beans for the display makes it more meaningful.
