The most Eggs-traordinary week in history

Aimed at primary children, this outline could be presented as an assembly or used in a classroom context to explore Lent and Easter.

The Most Eggs-traordinary Week in History is a brand new resource aimed at primary-aged children. By using eggs in various forms as visual aids, children consider the Christian experience of fasting through Lent in preparation for Easter, linking Shrove Tuesday and pancakes to the Easter story and the feasting that celebrates the risen Christ.

It’s perfect as an assembly outline or a series of classroom activities – and, if appropriate in your context, you could also encourage families to make pancakes, scrambled eggs and enjoy chocolate eggs while talking together about the Easter story.

This material is free to Roots subscribers - simply log in and go to Lent / Easter in the Seasons & festivals area.
