Who else gets excited about Easter? Easter is such a beautiful holiday as a Christian and I love to take this time of year to teach my kids about the Resurrection story. This year I am planning an Easter preschool theme for my preschoolers and thought I would add this printable Easter scavenger hunt to our studies. Not only does it send the kids on a journey to discover the Resurrection story, but we also get to read scripture together!
Resurrection Eggs Scavenger Hunt
Have you ever heard of Resurrection eggs? Every time we have done them, we would find a small token in each egg with a note from scripture to let us know which part of the Lord’s crucifixion and resurrection it represented. With this scavenger hunt, you don’t have to use any eggs.
Simply print an Easter scavenger hunt page for each child, give them instructions to find one item to represent each thing on the sheet, and then when everyone comes back together have them share what they’ve found and then read the scripture cards together.
Easter Scavenger Hunt for Church
You could do this scavenger hunt with children from your church, except you may need to plant things around the room for them to find. Get creative! Leaves for the palm branches, crackers for the bread, tissues for the linen, etc.
You could also use the scripture card inside traditional Resurrection eggs if you’d rather.
Bible Verse Easter Egg Hunt
You could also do a reverse scavenger hunt by reading the scripture cards and then having the children find the item they believe is represented by the scripture. This would work well for older children already familiar with the Resurrection story.
What are the 12 Resurrection eggs?
If you’ve never heard of Resurrection eggs, they are fairly easy to DIY. You just need to find the small items around your home to go inside some plastic eggs.
Here’s what you need:
- Small leaf
- Cracker
- Cotton ball scented with vanilla
- Small crown made of twigs
- Small stone
- Cross of twigs
- Spice (piece of herb)
- Two small nails
- Tissue
- 3 dimes
Easter Scripture Cards
The included Easter scripture cards are lovely and tell the Easter story through the Gospel. You can use these for years to come!
