Easter Resources
With Easter eggs beginning to line the shelves, you may be looking for a resource to help children and young people learn about what Easter is truly all about. Look no further! We are keen to spotlight our key Easter Resources, including a brand-new resource linked to The King of Kings animated film.
The King of Kings - Easter Resources
Animated film, ‘The King of Kings,’ starring Pierce Brosnan and Uma Thurman, saw box office success last year. SU Scotland is excited to have partnered with KOVA International and Angel Studios, as the official resource partner for the UK & Ireland. We launched our initial resource packs last year based on the miracles of Jesus, depicted so vividly in the film. The Miracles of Jesus resources are estimated to have reached over 30,000 children.
Following this success, we have developed a suite of Easter resources for schools, churches and families linked to the film. This includes school assembly material, four RME lessons for P5-7 learners, and eight family devotionals.
Explore Easter
This popular, creative resource launched for the first time just last year, reaching an estimated 16,000 children. This creative, effective resource has proven to be popular with schools, churches and SU Groups alike. The three-episode film series is aimed at 8-11 year olds to provide insight into the events of Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday in a fun and engaging way.
To complement the episodes, we offer a school pack for teachers including lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, quizzes, crafts and a guide showing the links to the first and second level curriculum. There is also a church pack with Sunday School lesson plans that include discussion questions and related games and craft activities. Finally, we offer a pack for SU Groups, complete with welcome activities, discussion questions and craft activities.
Colour in Easter
This three-part video series brings the whole story of Easter to life – allowing P6-7 learners to explore the origins of Easter, the story of Good Friday and the meaning of the resurrection. There are also bonus themed colouring sheets!
SU Scotland’s Creative Director, Jenny Hamill, said:
“These resources provide unique opportunities for children to learn about the events around Jesus’ death and resurrection. The King of Kings resources link to incredibly powerful scenes from the animated film, capturing children’s attention as they follow the story. Shot in well-known Scottish locations, Explore Easter’s three lively video episodes showcase young presenters, colourful animation, and interviews with schoolchildren. Colour in Easter has been around for a bit longer but is still a firm favourite.”
