The document describes a balloon hunt youth Easter activity. Participants are divided into teams who must hop around the room connected by holding onto each other's waists to find balloons of different colors hidden around the room. Each team member then blows up their found balloon and ties it to their teeth to pass down the line. The activity is meant to convey the symbolic meaning of the colors of the balloons representing aspects of Easter.

grandmother were taking flowers to
the cemetery they passed a newly dug
grave. “Grandma, look!” Nicole
exclaimed. “One got out!” Jesus Got
out!

Divide the participants into
groups of five; have the groups
choose names such as “Egg
Raiders.” Ask each team to line
up. Have the members place their
hands on the waist of the person
in front of them. The last person
in line will give verbal instructions
to the team, trying to get them to
hop in unison. The first person is
the only one who can touch the
balloons.

The object of the game is to hop
around the room in a connected
line and find the balloons. Each
group must find one balloon of
each color. The first person blows
up the balloon, ties the string to
it, and places the balloon
between the teeth of the second
person. This process continues
until everyone has a balloon in his
or her teeth or until time is called.

Debrief
Use the colored balloons to share
the message of Easter. Black
represents sin, red represents the
blood of Christ shed on the cross to
wash away our sins, white represents
the life cleansed by Christ’s sacrifice,
green represents new life in Christ,
and yellow represents heaven which
is now accessible to us through the
death of Christ on the cross.
