Easter Bundle - Lesson Plans and Colouring Pages
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Easter: What does it represent? Easter is one of the primary Christian celebrations, or Holy Days. It celebrates Jesus' rising from the dead three days following His crucifixion. Easter signifies the joyful conclusion of the Lenten period characterized by fervent prayer, fasting, and repentance for numerous Christian groups. Easter ranks as one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar, alongside the birth of Christ. It happens when Christians celebrate and show thankfulness for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Based on the Christian liturgical calendar, Easter is the most important and joyful celebration. Christians take this opportunity to reflect on the significance of Jesus' crucifixion and the promise of everlasting life. A fundamental principle of Christianity is the resurrection, which underscores the assurance of salvation and hope offered through faith in Jesus Christ.
This comprehensive bundle includes two lesson plans on Easter, with teacher's notes and students' worksheets. Answers are provided as well. It also includes a colouring book with 20 colouring pages. Have fun with your lessons!
Lesson Plan: The History of Easter
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
The main Christian holiday, Easter, commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day following his crucifixion. Although the commemoration of Jesus' Resurrection most likely took place earlier, the first known Easter celebration dates to the second century.
In the Christian calendar, Easter comes after Lent, which is 40 days before to Easter (excluding Sundays) and is customarily marked by fasting and penance. Holy Week, which encompasses Good Friday, the day of Jesus' crucifixion; Maundy Thursday, the celebration of his Last Supper with his followers; and Holy Saturday, the period between his crucifixion and resurrection, comes right before Easter.
This lesson plan on the history of Easter will last 90 minutes. It includes the various teaching stages and their duration. Photocopiable students' worksheet are also included, along with their answer sheet. The lesson plan uses the video 'History of the Holidays: Easter' by the acclaimed History Channel (YouTube link in the content).
