Easter
resources available from THE TRIANGLE
include:
Resurrection Eggs (£16.75) These
colourful plastic eggs provide a visual way for you to tell the Easter story.
Each egg holds a small item which is part of the Easter message. As the children
see and touch the items, they will remember their meaning in respect to the
death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Why not use them as part of an
Easter Egg hunt?
Picturing Easter (£26) Eight works of art reproduced on
tear-proof cards for handing around and on a CD-ROM for projection - telling the
Easter narrative. Each card is backed with comments, questions, biblical
references and suggestions for responding as an individual or a group to the
artwork. There is a also a 24-page facilitator's guide with further suggestions
for learning strategies and background material, written by Lat Blaylock and
Victoria Ikwuemesi.
Eyewitness Assemblies: 15 ready-to-use assemblies for Easter
to Pentecost by Gaynor Cobb (£7.99) 15 imaginative 'first hand' accounts of the
events from Easter to Pentecost, told from the perspective of someone who was
there. Each assembly can stand alone, and the material is particularly suitable
for schools planning project-based work over the period of Easter, or for
teachers wishing to link the themes of Easter to topical issues covered in PSHE
and Citizenship.
