Hunting Easter eggs is the perfect time to use the colors of the eggs to point children (and adults) to Jesus!
What you'll need:
Have a basket of various color eggs or at least one Easter egg for each color (most come inpurple, orange, pink, blue, green & yellow). You could also pass out eggs for each child to hold as youtalk, & then they can lift up their egg when the color is called.
Script for Easter Eggs Object Lesson:
Hello! I havebrought a basket full of Easter eggs today! Look at all the pretty colors! There are purple ones, orange ones, pink ones, blue ones,green ones, and yellow ones! Wow,God was so creative when He created colors!
Did you know that the colors of these Easter eggs can remind usof some wonderful truths about Jesus?!
PURPLE: If you have a Purple egg, hold it upfor us. Purple is the color of royalty; it helps me remember Jesus is the King of Kings & fully God and when theBible begins with “In the beginning God…” Jesus was there in Heaven ruling asGod the Son!
John 1:1-3 –“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word wasGod. He was in the beginning withGod. All things came into beingthrough Him…”
ORANGE: Anyone holding an Orange egg? Orange is the color of some dirt or clay; it helps me remember that Jesus came to earth as fully man. He left Heaven and came to live as aman here on earth yet He never sinned.
John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full ofgrace and truth.”
PINK: What do you think of when you think of Pink? Who has a Pink Easter egg? Pink makesme think of love! Did you know that Pink is made by mixing the color red with white? Red reminds me of Jesus' blood that He gavewhen He died on the cross so that we can have forgiveness for our sin (washed& made white as snow)…so pink reminds me of God’s great love.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
GREEN: Green isthe color of the grass, trees and so many other things that grow. Who has a green Easter egg? Green reminds me of the new life Jesusgives me when I trust Him as my Savior and it also reminds me that I continue to grow in knowingHim as I study the Bible, pray, serve & obey Him.
1 John 5:12 “Hewho has the Son, has the life. Hewho does not have the Son of God, does not have the life.”
BLUE: Blue Easter eggs make methink of the sky and the air around us. We can’t see the air, but we can seeit’s affects when the wind blows and moves the leaves or we feel the breeze. This reminds me that Jesus is alwayswith me through His Holy Spirit although I can’t see Him with my eyes.
John 14:16-17 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you."
YELLOW: Yellow is likethe sunshine; hold up any yellow Easter eggs. It reminds me of Heaven full of light and warmth because God isthere. God promises that if wetrust in Jesus as our Savior & Lord, then Heaven with Him will be our homeone day for eternity.
John 14:1-6 - “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
Summary:
So as your hunting Easter eggs today and even later, I hope you will be reminded of Jesus whenever you see these colors!

My practice run:
Optional Add-On:
Depending on the number of children you have, you may be able to place a piece of candy inside each egg and give one to every child. At the end ask a few questions:
- How did you get the egg in your hand? (It was given to me.)
- Did you have to pay me anything for it? (No, a gift is free.)
Yes, it is. Just like God gives us salvation. It is not something we earn or have to work for; it is a gift. We just have to accept it and receive Jesus as our own Savior & Lord.
Have them open their eggs and see the candy. Jesus is sweeter than any gift of candy! As you hunt eggs today, they will be filled with sweet things; let those remind you of God's sweet gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ.
