Invite your kids into the wonder, grief, hope, and joy of the Easter story.
A collaboration between The Book of Belonging and Zippee Kids Curriculum, this four-week Easter journey is thoughtfully designed for K–5th graders who are growing in curiosity, learning to name big feelings, and discovering how God’s love shows up in stories of loss, waiting, and new life.
This curriculum includes a mini version of our Stations of the Cross and Resurrection Experience** : a gentle, age-appropriate Holy Week experience designed for kids and families.
This curriculum honors kids’ imagination and emotional world while gently exploring the heart of Holy Week and Easter:
What does it mean to remember? What do we do when things feel sad or confusing? How does God show up when we’re waiting? Why is Jesus’ resurrection good news?
With playful learning, age-appropriate theology, spiral storytelling, and meaningful wonder questions, kids are invited to explore Easter in ways that feel safe, concrete, interactive, and hopeful - because their questions matter, and their faith is still forming.
Easter isn’t just about something that happened long ago. It’s a story about love that moves through sadness, surprises expectations, and brings new life where it seemed impossible.
This curriculum helps children see themselves in God’s story:
safe to ask questions, free to feel deeply, and invited into hope that grows.
What kids will explore
Stories of remembrance and friendship at the Last Supper
Big feelings like anger, sadness, fear, and hope - and what to do with them
Jesus’ death, the waiting at the tomb, and the surprise of new life

The Easter story isn’t just something we explain - it’s something we experience.

It helps children learn that love doesn’t disappear in hard moments, that hope can surprise us, and that resurrection means new life is always possible.

**A note on the mini Stations of the Cross and Resurrection Kit:
This kit is an expanded and thoughtfully adapted riff on the traditional Stations of the Cross. While it is inspired by the historic practice, it is not a one-to-one recreation. Some traditional stations are intentionally omitted, and additional stations are included to carry the story through resurrection and ascension.
This approach reflects best practices in kids’ and student ministry. Developing minds benefit from hearing the story all the way through - not stopping at death or violence, but moving toward hope, restoration, and good news. By holding the cross and the resurrection together, this experience creates space for honest reflection without glorifying harm, and helps our youngest participants understand Easter as a complete, hope-filled story.
(The FULL Stations of the Cross and Resurrection Experience Kit includes poster-sized printables, coloring sheets and on-screen resources. It is available here. )
