This Easter I included a fun activity to do with my twelve 6-graders – a pop-up booklet with the Easter story and flannel graphs by a Christian artist, Martin Didier. My supervisor agreed that this fun activity would be a much better and more meaningful option than painting traditional Easter eggs or making Easter bunny masks.
At class we read the simplified Easter story included in the flannel graph set, and I asked my students if they believed in God and Jesus. They all raised their hands and responded positively when I offered to teach them a simple Salvation prayer. We talked some more about Jesus and the meaning of what He had done for all of us on the cross that day over 2000 years ago.
We completed the first page of the booklet together at class, and the students took the remainder of the activity as a special homework for the long Easter weekend.
