Those With Young: Easter Verse Project

Okay, moms! Are you ready? Our Valentines Verse project was overwhelminly accepted and many asked about doing something for Easter. So here it is!

Our Easter/Resurrection verse project takes up sixteen days. There is a bit of flexibility here. The "Easter Story" passage falls on day thirteen. Strange, I know. But I really didn't want to end with that story because I want to follow up with verses about what His resurrection means, and that He is coming back again! So, if you want, you can start on March 19 and end on Easter (April 4th). OR, you can start on March 23, so that the Matthew 28 passage lands on Easter and then finish up later in the week. Whatever works!

The verses I've chosen do not chronologically tell the story. Instead, they are individual verses from four different categories.

The darkness of our sin

The hope of a Saviour coming

The work accomplished on the cross

The resurrection and life

I have posted the verses ready for you to download and print in the New International Reader's Version (NIV, but young reader friendly) right here:

Download Easter Verses Chunky (designed to paste on shapes)

Download Easter Verses Rows (designed to paste on strips)

However, I am also going to link them individually for you below for a couple of reasons.

Some of you had trouble downloading them last time. I will still be more than willing to e-mail the document to you if you want to go ahead and use it, but have trouble opening it. But this way, you can look them up in another way if you'd like.

Some of you may prefer to use a different translation with your kids. I'm linking these verses to Bible Gateway. With Bible Gateway, you can easily change the translation you'd like to use, update it, and then copy and paste to your own document to print - or just hand right them. Here is how that works:

When you click on the verse links, your screen will look something like this image below. If you click on the arrow I circled, you can choose another translation from the list and then click "update." It will put the verse up in the new translation.

This project is a bit different than the Valentine's one, in that the verses have an order to them. So you don't want to just keep them piled in a basket. You will want to keep them in order and then be the one that pulls the right verse out everyday. You can just cut them apart and read them, or put them on colored strips of paper. You could make a paper chain with them or you could put them each on paper shapes, like a black heart for the verses about sin or a cross for the verses about the cross, etc.

Our Sin

A Savior is Coming

The Cross
