In most European languages the feast is called by the words for passover in those languages; and in the older English versions of the Bible the term Easter was the term used to translate passover….

Short of simply hiding the eggs really, really far apart from each other, here are some fun ways to add some activity to your Easter:

1. Egg rolling. Do you know what an egg roll is?
2. Switch things up.
3. Active egg hunt.
4. Bunny hop.
5. Leapfrog/bunny game.
6. Animal friends.
7. Obstacle course/relay race.
8. Community egg hunt outdoors.

The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are two popular egg-related traditions.

Kids search for the candy, usually outdoors, and put the candy and eggs they find into their Easter basket. Other traditions include the Easter Egg Roll at the White House, Easter baskets with chocolate Easter bunnies, decorating hard boiled eggs, and Easter lily flowers.

Tell the Easter story using words that they already know in a way that makes sense for their age level.

1. You might say to a young child under 10, “Do you know the reason we celebrate Easter? It’s because Jesus gave us a very special gift.
2. To a child over 10, you might say, “Do you know why Easter is so important to me?
