The Resurrection is one of the most important truths about Jesus that kids will ever have the opportunity to hear. The resurrection of Christ means confidence that the entire testimony of Jesus is true, that payment for sin has been made in full, and that there is sure victory over sin and death. Let\u2019s help children experience His resurrection this Easter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are 10 Easter ideas for children\u2019s ministry on Easter Sunday:<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/h2>\n

1. Teach kids about Easter by having a Mary Magdalene reenactment<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mary Magdalene is a central figure in <\/span>the Easter story<\/span> (Mark 16, John 20) and an amazing example of devotion to Jesus. This Easter idea will lead your class to a deeper understanding of who Mary Magdalene was and her amazing story!<\/span><\/p>\n

In one of your children\u2019s ministry classrooms or meeting halls, create the illusion of the tomb over the entire area by using dark paper or fabric. When all the children are assembled \u201cin the tomb\u201d, dim the lights. At that point, have someone portraying Mary Magdalene come through a bright opening to declare that Jesus is no longer \u201cin the tomb\u201d because \u201cHe is alive!\u201d Then, have her share her amazing testimony. Have her tell about her bondage and deliverance and how she became a devoted disciple of Jesus and followed Him even to the cross. Let her talk about the sorrow and grief she experienced upon finding the tomb empty and how she stood alone weeping. Have her describe her experience when the two angels appeared on the scene to comfort her. Finally, let her recall the most amazing experience of all, how Jesus appeared to her and spoke her name. Mary Magdalene was the very first witness to the most important event in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

2. Use visual storytelling to tell the story of Jesus<\/b><\/h2>\n

To read the Resurrection story, using supporting pictures, puppets or flannel board is one way to do it, but an animated or dramatic presentation on a big screen is even better. If you are a <\/span>Sharefaith Kids<\/span><\/a> member, you\u2019re all set up with the lesson titles, \u201cThe Crucifixion\u201d, \u201cThe Resurrection\u201d, and \u201cAscension and Pentecost\u201d all at your fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n
