Sad and Happy Day Finger Game
To play this game a child picks one of the faces that are visible when the paper game is closed.
The teacher then spells out the word "sad" if the child picks a sad face, or happy if he picks a happy face. The teacher opens and closes one side of the game for each letter.
The child then picks another picture that is visible on the inside of the game. The teacher and children say one word of the memory verse each time the teacher opens or closes the game.
The child picks another picture that is visible, and the teacher opens up the folded paper and reads what it says under that picture. The child should do what it says to do on the game.

Easter Three-in-a-Row Game
Before class print out the Three-in-a-Row Cards and the Teacher's Cards. Cut the Teacher's cards apart and place them in a bag. In class give each child a card. Provide markers such as button, fun foam shapes, coins, etc. for the children to use. Mix up the cards in the bag and have a child pull one out. Show all the children the card and ask them if they know what the picture on the card has to do with Easter.
If they don't know, give them a short explanation and then have them place a marker on their card over the picture if they have it. Keep playing until a child gets three makers in a row, diagonally, vertically, or horizontally.

Easter Books and Learning Activities
I so enjoy this website. I tell people about it all the time. I am the Children's Director for a small church in Missouri and I use your website often. The ideas are fun, creative and so easy to use. Currently, we are using the ABC I Believe lessons for our Wednesday night program. Our children and our workers love it. The kids love trying to guess what animal goes with each lesson and the adult workers like that the lessons aren't just another revamped Bible story. I have had nothing but positive feedback and I am so glad I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Thank you for sharing all the ideas and making them available to those of us who work with children. Sincerely, M. Hartman 2/26/09
