JESUS SAYS... - This game is played like Simon Says. The game starts with someone calling out the commands and everyone must do what "Jesus" tells them to do when asked with a phrase beginning with "Jesus says." If "Jesus says, skip", the players must skip; if they don't they are out. If "Jesus" just says, "lift your hands" without saying, "Jesus says", the players should not lift their hands; those who do are out. It is "Jesus' goal to get everyone out as fast as possible. It is the players' goal to stay in as long as possible.

CHRISTIAN EGGS - If you do decide to color eggs, then opt to put Christian messages on the eggs using a wax crayon to keep the dye from adhering to the words. Write Easter messages like, "He Is Risen", "Jesus Died For You", "Jesus Loves You", etc.

Put some black paint in a paper plate. Have children dip one hand in the paint and make a handprint on the center of a piece of card stock. Once it is dried, turn it upside down, with the fingers pointing downward. The fingers will be the lamb's legs and the thumb will be the tail. Glue pieces of cotton onto the body (the palm portion of the picture). Cut out small ovals for the lamb's head. Glue the head in place and give each one a wiggly eye.
CHRISTIAN BOOKMARKERS - Depending upon the age of your participants, either cut out pieces of card stock in the shape of bookmarkers prior to the party, or give everyone a pair of scissors and pieces of card stock and let them cut out their own bookmarkers. also give everyone Christian Easter stickers, glue, glitter, etc. to decorate the bookmarkers.

Slide the beads on in the following order: black, red, white, blue, green, and gold. Tie another single knot to hold the beads on. You can now tie the bracelet onto your wrist. Use your bracelet to share your faith.
Black bead - Sin that separates us from God
Red bead - Jesus' shed blood on the cross to pay for our sins
White bead - Jesus' blood washes away all of our sin
Blue bead - Water baptism the outward sign of our faith
Green bead - Our faith grows as we read the Bible and pray
Gold bead - Eternity in heaven with the Lord
EGG CARTON CROSS - While the kids do this craft, have someone tell them the story of Jesus dying on the cross for their sins and that the flowers represent the new life Jesus brought to us through His death and resurrection.
Cut egg cartons into strips containing six cups and five cups. Glue the middle cup of the five-cup piece to the six-cup strip to create the cross. Wrap the cross with strips of fabric or lace. Glue ribbons, silk flowers, bead garland, etc.
EASTER PLAY - Hire a local church youth group to put on a simple play portraying the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of Jesus.
