Welcome to In Search of Easter
This is our trail and activities for Primary School age children, Y1 and above. The trail runs alongside the Easter Story Trail and there are some additional activities. If you’ve picked up a goodie bag you will have seen these already. If you don’t have a goodie bag, all the activities can be downloaded here and you can still join with us!
Instructions for completing the trail:
Find the introduction poster and QR code outside the church hall, or on the notice board by Grenoside Green.
Scan the QR code to see the video that sets off the adventure.
Head up to Middle Lane to find the first egg and then continue onto Top Side. Tick each egg off on the trail sheet.
At 3 houses you will find a QR code which will take you to a video with a clue to help you crack the code. This will give you the password to give access to the final video that answers the question! At the other 2 you will find something to look at. Look carefully to find the clue!
If your mobile data allows, watch the videos while doing the trail. If not, save the links to watch at home.

Some more ideas:
Make an Easter garden
Find a container or even a little space in your garden if you have one. (ice cream pot, old washing up bowl/seed tray, foil dish. Fill with soil or compost but remember to wash hands when touching these. Make a hill and cover with grass/moss/leaves. Use a small plant pot or yogurt pot as the tomb, make a path out of pebbles or anything else you have to hand. Find a stone or make a stone to put in front of the tomb. Make a cross (or three if you can) using twigs, lollipop sticks etc. Add toy figures to be Jesus, the angel, Mary, disciples.
