What Easter Is Really About - Childrens Easter Skit

Summary

A group of kids is getting a church classroom ready for Easter—with eggs, candy, and decorations everywhere. Everyone is excited… until one child asks a simple question that makes the room go quiet: “Is that all Easter is?” The question sparks a funny but heartfelt discussion that leads them to the real meaning of Easter.

Through stories, simple roleplay, and everyday examples, the kids discover that Easter isn’t mainly about sweets or traditions. It’s about Jesus—His love, His forgiveness, and the hope we have because He is alive. The skit ends with a clear Bible verse and a gentle encouragement for kids to receive and share Jesus’ love.
