- SAY: "Hello, friends! Today is Easter! It’s a very special day! Our Bible story tells about God’s love for us. God’s love for us is higher than the highest mountain—higher than a kite can fly. God’s love is bigger and wider than we can even hold. God’s love goes deeper than the deepest ocean. Let’s make a kite! Use the crayons and stickers to decorate your kite any way you want. (Pause.) Super-duper! Now add Jesus to your kite. (Pause.) Great! Now all we need to do is add the tails to the kite. Glue the streamers to the bottom point of the kite. (Pause.) Now you have a super special kite. One night, Jesus was having dinner with his very best friends. He told them He had to go away but that He would come back. After dinner, Jesus went to the garden to pray, and some angry people came and took Him away. They hurt Jesus, and He died. Jesus’ friends were so sad. They put Jesus’ body in a tomb with a big stone in front of it. Three sad days went by. On the third day, when some of Jesus’ friends went to the tomb, they saw that the big stone had been rolled away. Jesus was not there. Jesus had come back, just like He said He would. Jesus is alive! Be happy today because it’s Easter and Jesus is alive, and He wants to be our friend forever! Who wants to be your friend forever? [Bottom Line] Jesus wants to be my friend forever.”
