You’ll use this lesson 11 days before Easter. You’ll be using the second resurrection egg, which is light pink (color may vary) and will have silver coins on the inside.
Before you do the lesson we recommend that you read a short segment about when Judas went to the chief priests. We will be using The Beginner’s Bible
Talk with your child about the story:
Do you remember yesterday how we learned that some people were happy to see Jesus? Well, there were some who did not like him and wanted to hurt him. Today we read a little bit about Judas, one of Jesus’ close friends. He ended up helping the leaders who did not like Jesus.
So, now its time to see what is inside our egg. What do you think it is going to be? Let’s open it and find out. Its coins. Think back to our story. Why do you think there are coins in this egg? Do you remember what Judas wanted for helping them? That’s right! Judas wanted them to pay him. Do you remember how much they gave Judas? 30 silver coins. Judas decided to take the silver coins and lead the leaders to Jesus. Do you think Judas was being a good friend to Jesus? Is it nice to hurt people? No, you’re right. Judas helped people who wanted to hurt Jesus, so he wasn’t being a very good friend.

Don’t Have Resurrection Eggs?
For all our international friends who don’t have access to Resurrection Eggs I found some perfect things for you! (And anyone else who is interested.) Here are a couple of places where you can get printable resources to use instead of resurrection eggs:
- Celebrating the True Meaning of Easter from 1+1+1=1
- Printable Resurrection Eggs (scroll down to the bottom) from Lapboook Lessons.
This is great!!!! We do this every year and lose the little ones. Thank you!
