Easter Card Craft

Download this FREE Easter Card Craft to help your students understand the Easter story and share it with their friends and family members.

Copy the craft page below for each child. Give it to the child along with crayons or markers, scissors, and a paper fastener. If you have young students, read the directions aloud for them. You may also want to pre-print stickers with "Jesus lives!" on them if your students are too young to print it themselves. Read the words aloud as you point to them. Help each child make an Easter card. Tell the Easter story as the children work. When the cards are finished, let the children help you retell the story and use their cards to seal the tomb and then roll the stone away when you indicate.

Encourage the children to tell the Easter story to their friends and family members as they give them the cards. You may want to have them give out the cards a week or two before Easter and include an invitation to your church's Easter service.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Action Song: Jesus Is Alive

Print the following song lyrics on a large piece of poster board or project them from your computer. Teach the following song to your children as a review of the Easter lesson. Sing the words to the tune of B-I-N-G-O. Have the children clap a rhythm as they sing the letters A-L-I-V-E.


For older children, use these clapping motions: Pat knees on "A" and "L" (pat once as they sing each letter), snap fingers on "I," clap on "V," and cross arms to pat chest on "E." Have a couple of your preteens teach the pattern to the rest of the group. Start slowly. Your children will have fun trying to do the actions faster and faster as they sing the words. You may even catch them doing the chorus on the playground for their friends!

Jesus Is Alive!

God sent Jesus down to earth
To die for you and me,

A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E!

My Jesus is alive!

They tried to take my Lord away,
And nail Him on a cross,
A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E!
My Jesus is alive!

They put Him in a cold dark tomb,
And rolled the stone up tight.

A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E!

My Jesus is alive!

He lives inside my heart, and He

Forgives me of my sin.

A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E, A-L-I-V-E!

My Jesus is alive!

Have a child read Revelation 1:18 from a Bible. Say it together a few times. Then talk about how Jesus is alive and lives in heaven today.
