On Christmas morning, a boy around ten years old brought the teacher a seashell of great beauty. When asked where he had discovered such a magnificent shell the boy said that he had walked many kilometres to a certain bay, the only spot where such shells could be found.<br />
" I think it was wonderful of you to travel so far to get this lovely gift for me," the teacher exclaimed.<br />
His eyes brightening, the boy replied, "Long walk part of the gift."<br />

<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One day as Sam was waking up, he heard some children coming towards him. They started picking up handful of cold snow and building a large snowman !! The children giggled as they put stones down the front of the snowman to make buttons and two big eyes. They also used sticks for arms and a bumpy nose. Finally they were finished and they stood back to look at what they had made. One small girl took off her hat and scarf and then she ran over and put them on the snowman.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div align="justify" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sam agreed that the snowman did look great, in fact, Sam longed to be part of that snowman but he knew that he couldn’t be a snowman without the help of lots of other snowflakes. He needed someone to come along and squeeze him into a big snow ball. He couldn’t be a snowman by himself. He was just too tiny by himself !</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The children enjoyed playing until it started to get dark then the little girl went over to get her hat and coat from the the snowman’s head. As she turned to leave, she bent down quickly and scooped up a handful of snow, pressed it tightly and with a loud giggle she made a snow-hat for the snowman.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif, sans-serif; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What a big surprise for Sam as he now found himself right up on top of the snowman. He was so happy that he almost melted with joy !</span></div>

Sweet Easter</h2>
<div class="info" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you ask some children what Easter is all about they will invariably reply that it is to do with chocolate or Easter Eggs. Here is a fun way to teach the true meaning of Easter to your children’s group.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The leader enters carrying either a large box marked “chocolates” or a large decorated basket. Build some suspense as to what’s in the box etc… As you remove each item from the box or basket use the item to teach about the meaning of Easter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. A bag of gold covered chocolate coins. (Jesus was betrayed by Judas for thirty pieces of silver).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
2. Chocolate Rooster. ( Peter’s three denials of Jesus before the rooster crowed).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
3. Chocolate Cross. ( Use sticks of a “Kit-Kat” bar – or equivalent, to make a cross. Ask the children to tell you why some people where crosses around their necks then tell them the the crucifixion story as appropriate to the age group listening). As a kind of competition you might like to get two or three children to come out the front and eat a small Easter egg and then make a cross out of the silver paper. ” Now hold up your crosses to show everybody. Here’s one thing you can do with the silver paper next time you eat an Easter egg as a reminder of Jesus.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
4. Hollow plastic egg. In Australia we have a sweet called “Kinder Surprise” which has a plastic egg which opens into halves with a small toy inside. If you don’t have something equivalent then use a medium sized Easter egg ( unwrapped) and ask someone to come and take a big bite out of it. (Tell the events of the empty tomb on Easter morning).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
5. Marshmellows or chocolate chickens or bunnies. (Jesus offers us new life and a new birth just like the baby chickens coming out of the eggs).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
6. Gold foil covered Easter egg. ( The Bible gives a picture of the streets of heaven being paved with gold. If we believe that Jesus died and came alive again we can look forward one day to spending forever with Jesus in heaven).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Easter Pass the Parcel</h2>
<div class="info" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A variation on the well known game.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is played in the same way as at children’s parties except you have a number of parcels circulating according to the size of your group (say one parcel per ten children).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Get everyone into a large circle and give out the parcels with an even number of people between each. Then as the music is played, the parcels are passed around the room from one person to the next as quickly as possible.<br />When the music stops the people holding the parcel can unwrap one layer of paper. Make sure each parcel is unwrapped to exactly the same point. This way the game will finish with the three or four people getting to the centre at the same time.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For Easter – Between the layers place: a palm cross (talk about why we have a cross on the top on hot cross buns or why people wear crosses around their necks) , an Easter card( What would you write about Easter in a card to a friend ?), a large nail (Jesus didn’t deserve to die -crucifixion), an easter egg (tomb), a clean sheet of paper (nothing on it- Jesus forgave our sins) . The gift could be a a small box of chocolates (celebrate that Jesus is alive).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Use the items to recap the Easter story.</div>

Colours for Easter</h2>

<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You need : Green, Red,Black, White and Yellow balloon bunches or streamers or flags.</em></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Call forward any of the congregation or children’s group who are wearing a green top (t-shirt, jumper, sweater…). Give them the green props and ask them to stand in a group on the far left side of your stage or up-front area. Talk about how the colour green may remind us that Jesus came… and on the way he was welcomed into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Ask the green group to practice their phrase. Continue this process with the following colours and phrases.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Jesus came- and suffered- and died- but came alive again- to bring new life…</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
GREEN —- RED —- BLACK — WHITE — YELLOW</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Finally invite all those remaining in the congregation wearing other colours to add “<strong>for everyone</strong>” to finish the phrase. Those holding the balloons can form a rolling Mexican wave of colour as they circle the balloons in front of them as they say their phrase.</div>

Hot Cross Buns</h2>
<div class="info" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hold up a hot cross bun and ask the group if they like to eat these buns at Easter. Say that many people all around the world like to eat these buns at Easter time and those that are Christians are reminded of Jesus death on a cross by the cross we find on the top of the bun.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Let’s think about the ingredients needed to make these buns. What are some of the things you think might be used? Flour? Water? Fruit? One thing that’s very important in making hot cross buns is yeast. What do we use yeast for? It helps the bun to rise otherwise they might be called “flat cross buns”. The yeast also might remind us that Jesus rose from the grave. He didn’t stay dead after he was crucified and put in to the tomb – he rose again. Dried fruits are also added to the mixture in making hot cross buns. These might remind us of the good things that come from Jesus’ death. Without his death on the cross we wouldn’t be able to enjoy new life.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you pass around some buttered hot cross buns for the children to eat. Invite everyone just to pause for a few moments and silently thank Jesus for being willing to die a slow and painful death so that we might have eternal life with him.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Just in case you wondered about the history of the hot cross bun</em> : We get the word “bun” from the Teutonic equivalent, “boun”, which was an archaic description of a sacrificial ox. The practice of offering animal sacrifices at the vernal equinox became frowned upon. Instead, the goddess in question was honoured with a cake, a sacred ox bun. Imprinted on the cake were the crossed horns of a ox. Christians reinterpreted this as the cross of Christ.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Puppet script from Eliab.com “<a href="http://eliab.com/hot-cross-buns.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5eb2e5; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: inherit;">Hot Cross Buns</span></span>“</a></div>
