EASTER CELEBRATION

Easter is a time to celebrate the rebirth of Jesus Christ, and it brings an excitement to all of us.

Start a discussion about the subject and find out the meaning of Easter and what are the things that symbolise Easter. Listen carefully the participants and write down a list of items they know.

E.g:

Rabbit, egg, cross, chicks, Jesus, chocolate, ...

It has been a tradition to give chocolate eggs for friends and family. In school, children decorate boiled eggs and roll them down the hill, which symbolises the rock that was rolled in the cave Jesus was buried. It is also a symbol of fertility, the rebirth of Jesus Christ.

Easter Sunday is a day for a beautiful meal. Bring this spirit of joy to your classes. Prepare a meal with your students, describe different meals in different countries at Easter.

In Scotland we have HOT CROSS BUNS, a sweet roll with raisins. Very tasty!

To conclude, EGG HUNT. Wow...that is very funny.

Hide chocolate eggs in the classroom;
Divide the participants in groups,
Ask them to hunt the eggs;
The winner is the group that gets more eggs;
Prepare a quiz about the topic and have fun! wow...the group that had more eggs might have to share and eat them... nhumi....
