We often spend time during the Easter season decorating eggs, planning meals, and preparing baskets, but the most important part of the holiday is the message of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Helping kids understand the Biblical Easter story is essential. It’s more than just knowing facts—it’s about helping children see God’s love, understand the power of forgiveness, and recognize the hope we have because of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
The Easter story lays a foundation for faith, and when children can recall key moments like Jesus riding into Jerusalem, praying in the garden, or rising from the tomb, they’re building a personal connection with Scripture that can last a lifetime.
How to play the Easter Story Trivia Game
This printable Easter Story Trivia game is simple to use and great for families and groups. It’s designed for all ages, making it perfect for family gatherings, church events, or a friendly competition among friends!
There are five game sheets, with each one featuring a specific category from the Easter story—like Places, People, Crucifixion, Numbers, and Hodge Podge.
What You Need:
- A six-sided die
- The Easter Trivia game sheets (one for each category)
- A way to mark off answered questions (pencil, pen, stickers, etc.)
- A Bible (optional, but encouraged!)
You can choose to lay out all five categories and let players pick which one they want to answer from, or you can play through one category at a time. It works well for small family groups or larger Sunday school classes, and you can play individually or in teams. Team play is especially helpful when you’ve got a wide range of ages involved. Another bonus: you can allow players to use their Bibles for help or give scripture references as hints. It’s flexible, fun, and educational all in one.
Game Setup:
- Lay out all five categories or focus on one category at a time. The choice is yours!
- Decide if players will play individually or in teams (teams are great for mixed ages).
- If you want to challenge yourself, try playing without using the Bible. If you prefer a learning experience, use the Bible or scripture hints to find the answers!
Players roll a six-sided die and answer the question that corresponds with the number they rolled. The questions range in difficulty, making it so that all ages can participate. There are easy questions for younger kids, more challenging ones for older children or teens, and even a few that might stump the adults. You can keep score by using the die numbers as points—so if you roll a 6 and get the answer right, you earn 6 points!
How to Play:
- Roll the die and match the number to the question on the sheet.
- Answer the question without looking at the answer key.
- If you get the answer right, you win that number of points!
- If you’re unsure, you can look up the scripture reference (or ask for a hint!).
- Mark off the question once it has been answered to avoid repeats.
- Continue playing until all questions are answered, or set a point goal (e.g., first to 20 points wins!).
A Few Things to Keep in Mind:
- Difficulty levels vary, so everyone from little kids to adults can play.
- Some answers may vary depending on the Bible version you use, and that’s okay!
- Work as a team to help younger players or those less familiar with the Easter story.
Christian Easter ideas for families
If you’re looking for more Christian Easter ideas for families, here are a few suggestions to keep the focus on faith during the season:
- Make Resurrection Eggs – Use 12 plastic eggs filled with symbols of the Easter story to tell the events leading up to Jesus’ resurrection.
- Easter Story Scavenger Hunt – Hide items around the house or yard that represent parts of the Easter story (a small cross, a stone, a piece of cloth, etc.) and have kids find and explain their meaning.
- Read the Easter Story Together – Choose a passage from one of the Gospels and read it aloud as a family, or find an age-appropriate storybook that tells the Easter story. Let kids ask questions and talk about what it means.
- Create Cross Crafts – Use popsicle sticks, paper, or other craft materials to make crosses as a visual reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice.
- Watch a Kid-Friendly Easter Bible Video – There are lots of animated videos that explain the Easter story in an age-appropriate way.
