The Backyard Easter Bash
You can do it.

 
Simple.  Eternal. Who knew such a big message could fit in such a small space?

Each of the twelve colorful plastic eggs found in Resurrection Eggs®, holds a different memory-grabbing object, taking Jesus’ journey to the cross and beyond right into your child’s heart.

But think bigger. Two million have opened up the message found inside Resurrection Eggs with the children in their lives. You could watch as Easter comes alive in more kids’ hands—and hearts— this year through a simple, life-changing Easter egg hunt in your own backyard.

The anticipation, surprise, and experience of Resurrection Eggs can help you share Jesus with the 4—12 year olds from your:

  • Neighborhood
  • Child’s Sunday school class
  • Child’s pre-school or elementary school class
  • Playdate or Mom’s-Day-Out group
  • Carpool
  • Child’s friends
  • Child’s sports team
  • Family, friends and co-worker

What do I do?

1.  Get one set of Resurrection Eggs®, plus other empty plastic eggs and fillers for the rest of the hunt (we suggest six plastic eggs for each child).
2.  Pray
about who to invite.
3.  Give invitations to children.
4.  Have the Easter egg hunt using our helpful tips and guides.
5.  Use Resurrection Eggs® and its booklet to tell the story in your own backyard (or park, or house…) of Jesus’ sacrifice.
6.  Sugar high and all other activities optional.

Not chocolate, but very, very sweet:  Read stories from others, and then share your own!
