We love making Resurrection Rolls and hiding and discussing the items inside Resurrection eggs. ---

Resurrection Eggs…ugh, I need to plan for this week. I haven’t gotten Easter activities ready or our 100 day activities. We have been so busy at church that I haven’t even thought about this weeks activities. ---

One year we read _Amon’s Adventure: A Family Story for Easte_r. Here’s a [review](http://hopeforhomeschool.blogspot.com/2012/04/amons-adventure-family-story-for-easter.html) I did. Good stuff (by Arnold Ytreeide–same author who does advent stories like _Jotham’s Journey_…) ---

We do a scavenger hunt inside and out for the kids to follow riddles/clues to get to their Easter basket. The kids LOVE this. We also do Easter egg “fights” at Easter dinner - tapping hardboiled/decorated eggs with the goal of being the last one without a cracked egg shell. It is so much fun for everyone young and old! ---

Okay, this will sound bad, but let me explain! We “egg” our friends’ houses! I call ahead and ask our friends to stay inside that we are coming over on a secret mission. When we arrive, our family hides 12 eggs in the yard and attach a sign to their door, then we ring the doorbell and run for the van, a la ‘ding dong ditch’! Eleven of the eggs have treats in them, but one is empty. The sign we leave on the door explains why: “We’ve hidden 12 eggs in your yard! Enjoy the hunt, but don’t be discouraged when you find the empty egg. It is a reminder of Jesus’ empty tomb, for He is RISEN!” This is the link to the post that explains it and has the printable sign: [http://happyhomefairy.com/2013/03/24/youve-been-egged-he-is-risen-style-free-printable/](http://happyhomefairy.com/2013/03/24/youve-been-egged-he-is-risen-style-free-printable/) We pick three friends to egg and do this on Good Friday every year. It may be our favorite activity!
