40 Easter Bible Trivia for Kids: Big Faith, Small Humans, Huge Smiles
Easter is the greatest comeback story ever told and kids love a good “Wait… WHAT?!” moment. This Easter Bible Trivia for Kids list is packed with simple questions and easy answers that work for Sunday school, family game night, road trips, and even egg hunts where you win eggs for brainpower (the best kind of cardio). Expect plenty of “Ohhh, I remember that!” moments, a few giggles, and zero trick questions like “How many jellybeans can you fit in an ark?” 🐣📖
One warning: kids may demand a rematch.
1. 🐣 Tomb Treasure Hunt
Kids race to follow clue-by-clue “tomb trails” until they discover the happiest message in the Easter story.
How to Play:
Hide “tomb clues” (paper slips) around the room and tell kids they’re searching for the message of Easter. Each clue should lead to the next spot with a simple Bible-themed hint (like “Find where bread is kept” or “Look near a door”). At the final location, place a note that says “He is risen!” along with a small prize or treat. Let kids work as a team or compete in pairs to find the treasure first. After the hunt, quickly review what the empty tomb means in the Easter story. Finish by having each child share their favorite clue or moment.
Materials:
Paper slips, pen or marker, small prize or treats, tape
2. ✋🌿 Palm Sunday Parade
Kids create pretend palm branches and march in a cheerful mini-parade to reenact Jesus’ welcome into Jerusalem.
How It Works:
Kids make “palm branches” and reenact Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem in a joyful mini-parade. Explain that the crowd welcomed Jesus with praise and palm branches, then let kids practice saying “Hosanna!” together. Choose one child to pretend to be Jesus (walking calmly), while others wave their branches and cheer respectfully. Keep it simple, short, and fun—like a classroom-friendly parade loop. After the parade, ask what it felt like to welcome someone important. Wrap up by connecting it to honoring Jesus with our words and actions.
Materials:
Green paper, scissors, crayons or markers, tape or glue
3. 🎲 Resurrection Roll & Tell
This quick dice game turns Easter story questions into a fun round-by-round challenge kids actually want to answer.
How to Play:
Kids take turns rolling a die to land on a number that matches a Resurrection-themed prompt. Each number can correspond to a question like “What is the tomb?” or “Who rolled the stone away?” or “What does ‘He is risen’ mean?” When they answer, they earn a point or a token for their team. If they’re unsure, they can ask a teammate for help once per round. Keep the pace moving and celebrate effort, not just correct answers. End the game by reviewing the most important Easter message in one sentence together.
Materials:
Die, list of numbered prompts, paper and pencil for scorekeeping
4. 🕊️ Easter Story Freeze Dance
Kids dance, freeze, and strike silly poses that match key Holy Week moments—learning the story while giggling.
How to Play:
Play music while kids dance, and when the music stops, call out a Holy Week or Easter moment. Kids must “freeze” in a pose that matches the moment, like waving palms, praying, carrying a cross (hands out), or looking surprised at an empty tomb. Pick a few kids each round to explain what moment they acted out. Keep it light and silly but respectful, reminding them these moments are important. Rotate through several key events so everyone learns the sequence. Finish by asking kids which part of the story gives them the most hope.
Materials:
Music player, list of Easter story moments
5. 🪨 Roll Away the Stone Relay
Kids roll a “stone” in a team relay to remember the big stone that couldn’t stop the Resurrection.
How to Play:
Divide kids into two or more teams and set up a simple relay course with a “stone” at the starting line. The “stone” can be a ball or a crumpled paper wad that kids must roll (not throw) to a turning point and back. Each player rolls the stone, tags the next teammate, and the relay continues until everyone has gone. While they play, remind them that a stone was rolled away from Jesus’ tomb and it was a sign of something amazing. After the relay, gather kids and briefly explain how the empty tomb shows Jesus is alive. Celebrate the winning team and encourage everyone for playing kindly.
Materials:
Ball or rolled-up paper, cones or markers for turning points, tape for start/finish lines
