Pass a bouquet of flowers around for the children to smell. Discuss the names and parts of the flowers like: petals, stem, leaves and the nectar. Here is a link to a website that has a good picture of a flower showing all of the parts of a flower. It would be great to print it out or just take a look at it while looking at and studying the real flowers.
Games and Play: Play a game of "Duck, Duck, Goose", but instead of saying "duck, duck, goose" say: "Seed, seed, flower".
Have the children sit down in a circle and let one child be "it" and they will walk around the circle. As they walk around, they tap each person’s head and say whether they are a "seed" or a "flower". Once someone is the "flower" they get up and try to chase the person that is “it” around the circle. The goal is to tap that person before they are able sit down in the "flower's" seat. If the flower is unable to do this, they become "it" for the next round and play continues. If they do tap the "it" person, the person tagged has to sit in the center of the circle. Then the "flower" becomes it for the next round. The person in the middle can't leave until another person is tagged and they are replaced.

Click here to watch the resurrection eggs video for Day 2. The resurrection eggs are a great way to help keep the focus on Jesus this Easter season. This is a wonderful way to share with children what the Bible says about the death and resurrection of Jesus. You can also use a children’s Bible, books and pictures to help tell the story. I love how these eggs bring this amazing story to life, so let’s crack open an egg and learn about the Easter story together! If you’d like to make your own eggs here is the video on how to do that.
