Top 5 Christian Easter Activities to Do With Your Kids
Easter is a special time for families to come together, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, and create lasting memories. For young children, it’s important to engage in fun, age-appropriate activities that also teach them the deeper meaning of Easter. Here are five Christian Easter activities to do with your little ones that will bring joy and spiritual meaning to your celebration.
1. Resurrection Egg Hunt
An Easter egg hunt is a classic activity, but you can add a meaningful twist by turning it into a Resurrection Egg Hunt. Instead of just filling eggs with candy, place items that represent the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection inside each egg. For example:
- Palm leaf for Palm Sunday
- Silver coin for Judas’ betrayal
- Nail for the crucifixion
- Stone for the sealed tomb
- Empty egg to symbolize the empty tomb after the resurrection
As your children open each egg, take a moment to explain the significance of each item. This will help them understand the Easter story while having fun searching for the eggs.
2. Family Devotional
Check out the 5-Minute Family Devotional from JellyTelly! Eight days of short video devotionals will help your family celebrate the importance of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection this Easter. Bonus, it is free with your Right Now Media account that Landing Place Church offers!

3. Acts of Kindness Baskets
In the spirit of our value of Loving People, have your family create and deliver Easter baskets for neighbors, friends, or families in need. Include sweet treats, small toys, and a handwritten note about Jesus’ love. It’s a great opportunity to teach kids about generosity, compassion, and sharing the Good News in practical ways.
4. Bible Verse Memory Challenge
Start teaching your kids some key Bible verses about Easter and resurrection in a fun, competitive way! For younger kids, you can start with simple verses like:
- “He is not here; He has risen!” – Luke 24:6
- “I am the resurrection and the life.” – John 11:25
For older children, you can include longer passages or challenge them to act out or draw pictures representing what they’ve learned. You could even turn it into a friendly family competition to see who can memorize the most verses.
