Read the resurrection story aloud or make it into a family skit. We did ours this morning after Dad had left for the day. You might have to adjust the parts.

Mom: On the first day of the week,

Kids: That’s Sunday.

Mom: very early in the morning,

Kids: Maybe before 6:00

Girls: the women took the spices they had prepared

Kids: Not pepper! Aaaachooooo!

Mom: and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

Girls: While they were wondering about this,

Boys: suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.

Girls: In their fright, EEEEEEEK!

Mom: the women bowed down with their faces to the ground,

Boys: They probably got dirt on their noses

Mom: but the men said to them,

Boys: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

ALL: He is not here; he has risen!

Boys: Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee

Mom: The angles were reminding the disciples of what Jesus had told them a week before the transfiguration.

Kids: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”

ALL: Then they remembered his words.
