The document describes an Easter activity where messages telling the Easter story are placed inside a hollowed egg. Children are asked what they think of at Easter and shown the egg. They expect yolk inside but are surprised to find slips of paper with phrases about Jesus' love, death, and resurrection instead, using the egg as a symbol of new life to convey the Easter story. The document promotes an Easter collection of games and activities for youth celebrations.

Egg (Hollowed out)
• Carefully poke 2 holes in an egg, one at each end,
and blow out the contents.
• After it has dried inside, take a lot of 1/4 inch wide
slips of paper, write on them such phrases as
,”Jesus loves you,” “Jesus died for you,” ‘Jesus
lives” and so on.

many inside.

say, Chocolate, Eggs, Candies, Bunnies etc.

4. • (some will make the right connection) Hold the egg
and talk about how the egg was an Easter symbol –
portent of new life and that Jesus’s rising from the
dead meant that we too could have new life.
• I then said, “If ever I heard somebody give me the
right answer right away, I would clap my hands ….”
clapping my hands and squashing the egg.

5. • The children’s faces will be a mixture of horror
and glee as they imagined your hands covered
with goo.
• Instead, imagine their surprise when the egg
contains, not yolk and stuff, but messages that
tell the Easter story.
