Materials
Two plastic Easter eggs. Fill one
with a few small things that
make lots of noise – e.g. nuts,
bolts, nails, washers, marbles.
Rice or dried beans also work.
Close and shake it to test sound.
Remove or items to improve the
sound. Don’t overfill the egg or
the sound will be dull. Hide the
noisy egg up your sleeve. Leave
the other egg empty.

The Children’s Sermon
1. Pick up the empty egg
and shake it with the hand
that has the other egg
hidden up your sleeve. It
will appear to rattle.
2. Ask the children to guess
what’s inside. If they are a
little quiet, ask them one
by one “what’s inside?”

3. After you have a good
number of answers, open
the egg and show them it
is empty.
4. Why did it rattle?
Eventually someone will
guess. (If they need a clue,
try “rattling” a solid object
like a candle or a
hymnbook to show them)

The Lesson
They will be surprised that
the egg was empty. The
disciples were surprised
that the tomb was empty.
God had something “up His
sleeve.” But for God, it was
no trick. Instead it was a
miracle. Jesus was raised
from the dead.
