Easter Sunday School Lessons For Kids Church

In this Sunday School lesson, kids will learn that the best thing about Easter is not the sweet candy in their baskets, but the sweet news that candy can remind us of. It reminds us that Easter is a SWEET day because Jesus rose from the dead anyone who believes in him and accepts him as their Lord and Savior can be saved and spend forever with God.

The resurrection of Jesus is so very important to every one of us, even though we are living two thousand years after it happened. There is a reason we still celebrate Easter, and that is because it is the greatest thing that ever happened for the entire world.

Everyone knows that Easter time brings jelly beans and chocolate bunnies. But there’s more to it than that, right?

In this Easter Sunday School Lesson, kids will learn what Easter is really all about with this stand-alone Easter Children's Church Lesson. Easter is way more important than any candy, bunnies, or eggs. Easter is about Jesus' victory over death, and his return from the grave. He came back to life, and showed us that in Him, we too have the power over death.

Explaining the whys and hows of the Easter story: Why did Jesus have to die for me? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why did Jesus rise from the dead? How can I live with him forever in heaven?

 This Easter Children's Church Lesson will show kids why Easter still matters today while answering all those questions everyone seems to have. It does not make sense that somebody would rise from the dead, but it happened.  

At Easter, we celebrate the fact that Jesus died for our sins and rose to life again, defeating death so that we could live forever with him. 

Even though Jesus told His disciples this would happen, Thomas would not believe it until he saw Jesus himself. Jesus did appear to Thomas, and when He did, He said that those who believe that Jesus is alive, even without seeing Him with their eyes, will be blessed. Kids will discuss why they can believe that Jesus is alive, even without having seen Him.        

Kids get excited about seeking out the hidden eggs on Easter morning. By looking at Easter eggs, preschoolers will learn about what Jesus did at Easter to seek us out and show us His love.

Sometimes, you open a plastic Easter egg and there's nothing inside. When the women came to the tomb, it was empty. The body of Jesus was not there. Instead, they saw that Jesus was alive again! Because of the empty tomb, we can have life with God forever!  

Each week kids will learn that, "Jesus Is King, Jesus Knows Me, Jesus Forgives Me, and that Jesus Is Alive!" 

Use LEGO Bricks to Teach Kids the Easter Story!

From Jesus’ prayer in the garden to the empty tomb on Sunday, kids will learn four Bible lessons about the Easter story that they can easily remember every time they play with LEGO bricks.

The cross was not the end of the story for Jesus. Jesus is alive, and if we give our hearts to him, he will forgive our sins.

Objective: Kids will learn that Jesus coming back to life means they can accept him as their Savior to spend forever in heaven with him.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Kids will learn that when we believe in Jesus he removes all of our sin.

On Easter morning, God raised Jesus to new life again. Kids will learn that because of Jesus we can have a new life on earth and eternal life with God forever. 

Each week kids or the leader will perform a simple science experiment that connects to the Easter story.

This series is designed to be used the six weeks before Easter, to show the events leading up to and including Jesus' death on the cross – where he made a way for us.

Jesus did not deserve to die. He did it for us. He did it because of his love for us. Jesus’ death and burial are the saddest part of the story, but they will lead us to Easter morning and the victory we have in Jesus.

In Countdown to Easter 6-Week Children's Ministry Curriculum, kids will learn the details of Jesus' final week before his crucifixion.

Kids will take a closer look at what happened on Palm Sunday 2,000 years ago and be encouraged to invite their friends back next week for Easter. If cameras and microphones were invented back then, and news stations were around, the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem would be the absolute biggest news story ever.

Even though they did not have cameras, the Bible is an excellent source to figure out what happened on that day, and why it is still important today. This Palm Sunday Children's Church Lesson is a great resource to use in your Children's Ministry.

Jesus did not ride into Jerusalem on a horse like a king, but on a donkey like a humble servant. This lesson will look at Palm Sunday through the eyes of that colt who God chose for a very special purpose.

Most kids do not understand why Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. But with this Palm Sunday Children's Church Lesson, they will learn why. This is perfect to use for a Palm Sunday Service to get the kids ready for Easter! Great for all Children's Ministries, Sunday Schools, and Kid Churches.

The people in Jerusalem welcomed Jesus a week before they asked for him to be crucified. This Palm Sunday lesson teaches kids that we need to welcome Him into our hearts to stay every single day.

In the book of Matthew, we see the people of Jerusalem cheering Jesus on as he enters the city. They are treating him like he is the savior of the world... which he is. With this Palm Sunday Children's Church Lesson, kids will see why Jesus was praised back then, and why we should continue to praise him now.

Lyric Highlight

Lord, there's nothing
Nothing is better than You
I'm not afraid
To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws
Lord, You've seen 'em all
And You still call me friend
'Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley
There's not a place
Your mercy and grace
Won't find me again

Lyric Highlight

My fear won’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear won’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love
My fear won’t stand a chance
When I stand in Your love

Your love, Your love, Your love

There's power that can break off every chain
There's power that can empty out a grave
There's resurrection power that can save
There's power in Your name, power in Your name

Lyric Highlight

You free every captive
And break every chain
Oh God, You have done great things

We dance in Your freedom
Awake and alive

Oh Jesus, our Savior
Your name lifted high
Oh God, You have done great things

Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable

Lyric Highlight

We sing to the God who heals
We sing to the God who saves
We sing to the God who always makes a way

'Cause He hung up on that cross
And He rose up from that grave
My God's still rolling stones away
There's joy in the house of the Lord
There's joy in the house of the Lord today
