Personalize It

Kids of any age can use this easy Easter speech as it is written or as inspiration for their unique version.

• Toddlers and Preschoolers can dress in costumes matching each bullet point and stand with an older speaker.
• You can have one child read the speech or if you have a group of children, each child can read or recite one part.
• Older children might research more Easter symbols and add them as bullet points.

Kids can customize Extraordinary Easter by substituting in other symbolic items or creating new closing lines.

The Meaning of Easter

Children can recite this Christian acrostic poem to explain why people celebrate Easter. The Meaning of Easter is appropriate for children of all ages but may be best understood by those who are five and up. Children reading this speech could hold a Bible, or dress as a disciple for added effect. It is a good option for an Easter speech for church, and can be combined with other Easter recitations.

How to Customize

While children can read this speech verbatim, it could also be altered to include more personal references. To personalize the speech children could:

• Keep the original base words (Everlasting, All, Sacrifice, etc.) but reword each sentence to fit their vocabulary.
• Use the format with the word EASTER and come up with new words for each letter.
• Let children choose different Bible verses.
• Use the same format, but eliminate the Christian tone by choosing more commercial words like eggs or treats.
