Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking the children if they know what Easter is and what it means to them. Explain that Easter is a special holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Tell them that we celebrate Easter by doing fun activities like egg hunts and eating chocolate bunnies.
Lesson Outline: 1. Story Time: Read a children’s book about Easter, such as “The Story of Easter” by Patricia A. Pingry or “The Easter Story” by Brian Wildsmith. 2. Craft Time: Have the children make Easter crafts, such as Easter baskets or Easter eggs. 3. Egg Hunt: Hide plastic eggs filled with treats around the classroom or outside (depending on the weather). 4. Snack Time: Have a special Easter snack, such as bunny-shaped cookies or carrot sticks with dip.
Questioning: During the lesson, ask the children questions to check their understanding of Easter. For example: - What is Easter? - Why do we celebrate Easter? - What are some fun Easter activities?
Assessment: Assess the children’s understanding of Easter by observing their participation in the activities and asking them questions throughout the lesson.
Differentiation: For children who may need extra support, provide visual aids or simplified instructions for the crafts and activities. For children who may need a challenge, provide more complex crafts or hide the eggs in harder-to-find places.
Plenary: End the lesson by asking the children what their favorite part of the lesson was and what they learned about Easter. Encourage them to share their crafts and treats with each other.
