Pretty Eggs
to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"

Orange, yellow,
Pink and blue and purple too,
Pretty eggs --
Come here, and I'll share some with you.


Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny
fingerplay
Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny,
Put hands on top of head like rabbit ears.

Small and white,
Hold hands close together to show something tiny.

Come and fill my Easter basket
Pretend to fill basket.

Overnight.

Pretend to sleep.


Five Little Easter Eggs

Five little Easter eggs -- I wish there were more!
Mother ate the green one; then, there were four.

Four little Easter eggs, pretty as can be,
Daddy ate the blue one; then, there were three.

Three little Easter eggs ... I haven't got a clue
WHO at the purple one, but that left only two.

Two little Easter eggs -- we're almost done!
Sister ate the pink one, and that left one.

One little Easter egg -- I'd better run!
I ate that one and now there are none.

Jesus Died, But Rose Again
to the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb"
Jesus died, but rose again
Rose again, rose again.
Jesus died, but rose again
On Easter Sunday morning.


Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad you're in my life.
I'm so glad you came to save us.
You came from heaven to earth to show the way,
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay,
From the cross to the grace,
From the grace to the sky,
Lord I lift Your name on high.

Three Days
Fingerplay--Original Author Unknwon
Day One--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.

Day Two--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.

Day Three--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.
SUDDENLY!
Jump, as if in shock.
The stone rolled from the door of the tomb.
Make a rolling motion with hands.
Jesus stepped out!
Walk fingers across palm.
God's Son was alive!
Point to sky.
