How to Make Resurrection Eggs for Your Sunday School Class (Ages 4–9)

In a world full of noise and busyness, sometimes it’s the simplest hands-on activities that stay in a child’s heart the longest.

That’s why Resurrection Eggs are such a beautiful learning object for kids Sunday School.

They’re not just a craft.

They’re not just an activity.

They’re a gentle, meaningful way to help children see, touch, and remember the story of Jesus’ love.

If you’re teaching children ages 4–9, here’s a simple and heartfelt way to create your own set of Resurrection Eggs for your class.

What You’ll Need

• 12 pcs plastic Easter eggs
• A small basket or egg carton
• Small objects (or printed pictures if objects aren’t available)
• Small strips of paper for Bible verses
• Marker or labels (to number the eggs 1–12)

What to Put Inside Each Egg

Each egg tells one part of the Easter story. Prepare the following objects or printed pictures. Then, print or write the title and Bible verse on a strip of paper. 

1. Donkey (or picture of a donkey) → Jesus rides into Jerusalem - Matthew 21:9
2. Silver coins (3 small coins) → Judas betrays Jesus - Matthew 26:14–15
3. Cup → The Last Supper - Luke 22:19–20
4. Praying hands (paper cutout) → Jesus prays in the garden - Matthew 26:39
5. String → Jesus is whipped - John 19:1
6. Thorns (or small twig) → Crown of thorns - Matthew 27:29
7. Cross (small stick cross) → Jesus carries the cross - John 19:17
8. Nail (or toothpick for safety) → Jesus is nailed to the cross - John 20:25
9. Sponge (small piece) → Jesus is given vinegar - Matthew 27:48
10. Cloth (small white fabric) → Jesus is wrapped and buried - Matthew 27:59
11. Stone (small rock) → The tomb is sealed - Matthew 27:60
12. Empty egg → The tomb is empty—Jesus is alive! - Matthew 28:6

💛 That last empty egg is always the moment children remember most.

How to Prepare the Eggs

1. Place one object and the corresponding title and Bible verse inside each egg
2. Number the eggs from 1 to 12
3. Put them in a basket or egg carton
4. Keep them in order for easy storytelling

If you have time, you can also color-code or decorate the eggs to make them more fun and inviting for kids.

How to Use Them in Class

Here’s an easy flow you can follow:

1. Build Excitement - Let the children know they will open “special story eggs” today.
2. One Egg at a Time - Let the children take turns opening one egg at a time. If you wish, you can hide the eggs around the classroom and let the children find the eggs before letting them open the eggs.
3. Show and Tell - Let a child open the egg, hold the object, and show it to the class.
4. Tell the Story Simply - Read the short, clear sentences, for example: “Jesus rode into the city on a donkey.” and “Jesus died on the cross because He loves us.”
5. Ask the children simple questions - What do you see? How do you think Jesus felt? Why is this important?
6. Celebrate the Ending - When you open the empty egg, pause for a moment… Then say it with joy: “Jesus is alive!”

Let the children repeat it together—it becomes a moment they won’t forget.

The Lord's Prayer for Kids: A Simple Breakdown of Matthew 6:9-13

Hi Kids. Our topic for today is the Lord's Prayer.

Some of the words can seem a little tricky! So, let's break down Matthew 6:9-13 into easy-to-understand parts so you can grasp the meaning of this powerful prayer.

Moses and The Ten Plagues of Egypt

 

Hi, kids! Last time, I told you about the story of the Burning Bush where Moses met God. God called Moses and commanded him to go back to Egypt to help Israel be free from slavery.

Moses and the Burning Bush - Learning Obedience

Hi, kids! Do you still remember who is Baby Moses? He was the baby put in a basket whom God saved. Moses grew up to be a prince of Egypt, but he knew that he is a Hebrew.

One day, Moses saw an Egyptian beating up a Hebrew, one of his brethren. He got so mad that he killed the Egyptian and then hid him in the sand. But Moses was afraid when he found out that his fellow Hebrew saw what he did. So he fled from Egypt to a land called Midian. There he became a shepherd and had his own family.

One day, Moses was tending to his flock. As he was passing by Mount Sinai, he saw a bush that was on fire. But to his surprise, the bush did not burn out! So he went nearer to the burning bush to see why.

The Birth of Moses - God Saves the Baby in a Basket

Hi, kids! Today I’m going to tell you a story about a baby who was put inside a basket. So why do you think somebody would put a baby in a basket? Let’s find out who is this baby and why he was put in a basket.

 Do you remember the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers? Our story today is the continuation of what happened to Joseph's family after they lived and died in Egypt.

After Joseph, his father Jacob (also called Israel) and his family died, their descendants lived as slaves in Egypt. But God still blessed the children of Israel so they grew in number. They became so many that they outnumbered the Egyptians.

This made the Pharaoh afraid. “There are already too many Israelites in our land! We must find a way to control their growth, or else they may side with our enemies and conquer us!” So they treated the Israelites very badly and gave them a lot of work to do. 

The Pharaoh also commanded the Hebrew midwives to kill every baby boy that is born by an Israelite woman but leave the girl alive. But the midwives feared God and did not follow the Pharaoh. So Israel continued to grow in number.

There was a Hebrew husband (Amram) and wife (Jochebed) from the tribe of Levi. The wife had given birth to a beautiful baby boy. They hid the baby so that the Egyptians won't find him.

After three months, they could not hide him anymore so they thought of a clever way to save the baby. The mother wove a basket and coated it with tar so that it would float on water. Then she put her baby in the basket.

The baby's mother and his sister named Miriam went to the shore of the river Nile. They put the basket with the baby inside and let it float on the water. The mother prayed to God to take care of his son. Then she told Miriam to watch over the baby to see what will happen.
God kept watching over the baby boy because He had a special plan for this baby. Soon the Pharaoh’s daughter came to the Nile River to bathe. The princess saw the basket and sent her servant to fetch it for her. When she looked inside, she was surprised to find a baby inside! The princess said: “This must be one of the Hebrew’s children.” She felt sorry for the baby, so she decided to keep him. “I need a nursing woman to feed him and look after him.” Miriam who was hiding saw everything that happened. She jumped out of hiding and told the Princess, “I know a nursing woman who can help you.”

“Go, bring her to me, then.” The princess ordered the little Miriam. So Miriam ran back home to her mother and said happily, “Mother, I came to tell you that the Pharaoh’s daughter found my little brother, and she told me to come with someone who could nurse the baby. So I’m bringing you to her right now!” So they went to see the Princess.

When the Princess saw the Hebrew woman, she told her: “Take care of this baby, and I will pay your wage.” So the baby boy was raised by his own mother. And when the baby grew up, her mother took him back to the Princess. The Princess treated the boy as his own son. She said: “I have brought you out of the water, so I will call you Moses.” What’s so special about this baby boy Moses? Why did God keep him alive? Well, that’s another Moses story to tell! What's important is you know that God took care and saved baby Moses.
Read this story from Exodus 2:1-10.

KIDS DISCUSSION:

Let’s try to remember what happened in the story.
1. From what tribe of Israel did the Hebrew couple came from?
2. Where did the people of Israel live during this time?
3. Why was the Pharaoh afraid of the people of Israel? What did he do?
4. Did Israel become less in number because of Pharaoh’s order? Why?
5. Who put the baby in the basket? Why?
6. Did the baby die? Why?
7. Who found the baby?
8. What did the Princess do with the baby?
9. How did the boy ended up being raised by his mother?
10. Who gave the baby his name? What is his name? What does it mean?

MEMORY VERSE: Exodus 2:10

When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses ... “I drew him out of the water.”

KIDS ACTIVITY:

1. Tell the story. Print out the complete set of pictures of this story (including the three above) from this page. Give each child a picture then let them arrange the pictures according to the sequence of the story while still holding the picture. Let each child tell the story of the picture he/she is holding.

2. Coloring pages. You can find free baby Moses coloring pages here. You can print them for personal use, meaning not to be sold.

3. Baby on a woven basket.

• You need one blue-colored paper, white bond paper, one brown colored paper, blue crayon, scissor, glue and a picture of a baby. Prepare one set for each kid in class.
• Cut out the biggest oval shape you can in the middle of the blue-colored paper. You can also use white bond paper then simply color it blue after cutting out the oval shape from the middle.
• Cut some brown and white paper strips. Lay the strips of brown paper side by side over the oval shape until it is covered. Glue both ends of the paper strip to the edge of the oval shape. Then, get 1 strip of white paper and weave it through the glued strips of brown paper. Weave other strips of white paper until the oval shape is covered.
• Glue the baby picture on top of the woven basket. You can print out the baby picture shown below from this page or just manually draw one. The kids could also draw their own baby pictures if they like.
• Let them write something on the paper to remind them of today's story like "God saved baby Moses. God saved me, too."

This is how the finished craft will look like.
