Scripture Picture Coloring Page

Idea 1

If a group gathers in your home to color the Scripture Picture together, you may like to ask for volunteers to get their Bibles and read the three gospel passages listed on the Scripture Picture while everyone else listens and colors. Then you could encourage all to share their observations from the passages read. This could be a great way to enjoy a Word centered Easter conversation while coloring and enjoying one another’s company! :-)

Idea 2

Fun discussion starters while coloring:

If you could have been one of the women at the tomb which one would it have been and why?

How do you think you would have felt after the angel talked to you?

How do you think the experience would have changed your life?

E-A-S-T-E-R!

by | Mar 29, 2021 | Mom Blog, Easter, Posts

Are you looking for another simple and fun activity to enjoy with your family this Easter?

 

Enjoy: E-A-S-T-E-R!

 

1. Paper and Pencil

Give each person a piece of paper and a pencil. (If you have children who have yet to learn to read and write, assign them a partner to work with.)

2. Title

Have each person/partner team write the word “Easter” down the left side of their paper.

3. Write and Share

Have each person/partner team write down one word they can think of that relates to the Easter story and starts with a letter found in the word “Easter”. Continue to do so for each of the letters found in the word “Easter.”

Write each word chosen next to the corresponding letter.

For example:

“E – Endured.” Christ endured the cross.
“A – Accepted.” Christ accepted God’s will.
“S – Sins.” Christ died for our sins.
And so on.

When time is up share the words written down.

If time, your family may enjoy thinking of Bible verses that relate to the Easter story and have one of the shared words in them. (For example, “E – Endured: Hebrews 12:2”)

Scripture Picture Book – Matthew 27:27-54

Would you like a creative way to reflect on part of the Easter story found in Matthew 27:27-54 with your children?

If so, I highly recommend creating a Scripture Picture Book together!

A little family history will help to explain why. Years ago, our daughters, Melissa (3), Kristen (5) and Melanie (6), were on the floor having fun drawing and coloring pictures. Pictures to represent the story of Jesus’ birth from Luke chapter 2. These pictures were being drawn on a large and long piece of paper.

I soon realized that their artistry was precious and worth keeping, yet, the paper was large, and folding it up and trying to store it year after year was not very practical. So I decided to encourage them to draw pictures again, this time on individual pieces of 8 1/2” x 11” cardstock. Taping the completed pages together into a long strip made it easy to fold up the story book like an accordion and then read together.

What I did not realize was that this was the beginning of creating Scripture Picture Books in our home!! Scripture Picture Books that we would continue to make and enjoy for years to come.

We found these books to be a simple yet powerful way to think about, talk about, study and enjoy God’s Word together. We also found that as we read our Scripture Picture Books over and over again, often during Bible Time, our daughters began to memorize the Bible passages without even trying!

We now have a little library of precious and varied Scripture Picture Books that were created over a span of years. It is still fun to look at the books together, savor God’s Word and share memories the Scripture Picture Books bring to mind.

It is a joy to share the idea of Scripture Picture Books with you! I hope you too will be blessed this Easter and in the years to come by creating and using Scripture Picture Books with your children.
