The Easter Egg Basket

A favorite Easter activity is "The Egg Basket."  I have 12 or more plastic eggs in a grass filled basket.  Inside each egg is a piece of paper with a favorite song, Easter song, an Article of Faith song or one of the Primary program songs.  It would be very easy to sing for 45 minutes!  You could also put questions about the crucifixion and resurrection to help the children understand Easter.  Questions could be:

• How many days was Christ in the tomb?
• Who was the first person Christ saw when he left the tomb?
• Who were the two women at the foot of the cross?
• Why did Jesus show his hands?

 Have the children choose an egg and read the paper inside.  Answer the question or sing the song.
