A Christian Easter Hunt Telling the Story of Jesus’ Last Days on Earth {printable}

Our family had a GREAT time with this Easter hunt!  As promised, this is the hunt where NO  eggs are needed!  You will need an old shoe!  Ha ha!  We found items to tell the REAL story of Easter!  We remembered the Reason for the Easter Season!

We started with finding leafy branches for the Triumphal Entry and ended with marshmallows for the Ascension.  After we found each item, we stopped to hear that part of the story.  The children were so excited, that there were a few times that it was a little hard to calm down and listen, but we did it!  {We have recently discussed all of these Bible passages as a family during our Family Lenten Devotions, so I was able to summarize a story or two!}

It was very difficult for us to read about Christ’s suffering.  My husband and I had to take turns because we were both weeping.  This was a part of the hunt that we did not run around to find an object.  I gave each child a cross to hold and then a sponge for that part of the story.

My favorite moment in the hunt was the look on my children’s faces when they opened a present and found nothing in it!  It represented the empty tomb!

Here are pictures of some of our fun!

Try putting the items back in order when your hunt is complete!…

I typed up directions and supplies for this Christian Easter Hunt so that other families might enjoy it, too!  I wanted an Easter hunt without the eggs and distractions.  I wanted to focus on Christ!  You can click below to print out your copy of the fun!  (When you find typos, please let me know!  🙂 )

I hope your family enjoys this as much as we did!  

Some of the ideas for this hunt came from a seek-&-find book with hidden pictures called An Easter Hunt that we received as a gift a few years ago.  (Thanks, Mimi!)  I added items and created a real hunt to make it our own!

Remember the Reason for the Easter Season!
