Animal Opposites:
Select some nice large photos of familiar "Easter" animals: lambs, chicks,
rabbits, donkeys, and birds. Include pictures of baby animals with their
mothers. Introduce the concept of "big" and "little." Talk about young and old,
soft and rough, daytime and nighttime, light and dark, cold and hot, and other
opposites and how these might relate to the animals in the photos. Ask the
children if they can come up with some examples of opposites. Act out some
opposites: sleep versus awake; up verses down; huge versus tiny; quiet versus
loud; hot versus cold; wet versus dry; hungry versus full; in versus out; slow
versus fast; etc.

Music & Movement: (Printable Song)
For the following movement song, have the children all
lie still for the first part, then tell them to listen carefully
and begin moving and finally hopping (or flying, or
chirping, or scurrying, etc.) during the second half of the
song. Use other animals you are learning about as well:
chickies chirp, chirp, chirp; lambs kick (or baa;) mice
scurry; roosters crow; robins fly; etc. This exercise will
help reinforce the concept of opposites, as well.

Opposites Center

and dry exploration. Provide white paper and black
markers, crayons, or tempera paint to demonstrate the
contrast between black and white.

| Bible Verse Bracelets: Matthew 28:6 "He is not here; he has risen," |
| Decorative Easter Eggs . Use common plastic eggs and paint pens, sequins and glue, glitter, ribbons, googly eyes, and other decorations to make some beautiful Easter eggs. Use this opportunity to reinforce the concept of the resurrection. Discuss how the women found the tomb empty on the first Easter, and how wonderful that must have been. Be sure to leave the eggs empty! You may choose to place the decorated egg in a little basket that will allow to the egg to be displayed propped open. Alternatively, create an Easter Empty Tomb mini-garden. (See "Additional Activity" below for a link to a nice tutorial.) |

Read: The Story of the Empty Tomb, by Brian Davis
Talk about the meaning of Easter. Discuss the secular side of the holiday
(bunnies, Easter eggs, etc.) and explain that, just like Christmas, there are
fun things to do and eat and play that celebrate the holiday, but don't help
us understand the holiday's real meaning. Tell the children that all the
elements of the secular Easter holiday, (baby animals, eggs, spring buds,
butterflies, etc.,) all demonstrate how Christ brought new life to us
through his resurrection. Explain that the Easter story is the greatest
example of opposites you could give! Jesus came to turn our sin (darkness)
into righteousness (light like snow.) He turned dark into light, death into
life!
After sharing the Easter story with the children, take a few moments to
summarize the gospel message. Carefully answer any questions the
children may have. Help them to understand salvation on their level.
