Continuing with my “12 Days of Easter” series, watching a movie together is always something that my kids enjoy doing together. Especially if we go as far as popping the popcorn and turning out the lights. Even better if it’s on a Friday night and we let them camp out in the living room floor with sleeping bags and pillows, staying up late and falling asleep whenever they want. So today’s 12 Days of Easter activity is to watch and Easter movie together.
We don’t really have a lot of movies for Easter, though. Most Easter movies are very much about the Easter Bunny and we’re just not into that here at our house. We do like the VeggieTales movie, “An Easter Carol.” If your kids are teens, they might like watching something more like “The Passion of the Christ.” There are a number of movies that have been made about the life of Jesus Christ to choose from. But whatever you choose, spend time together as a family.
I would love to know which movies you recommend for those of us who are looking for Easter Bunny free options. Leave your suggestions in the comments.
I have to also admit that I no longer have any idea how far behind I am on blogging the 12 Days of Easter. I know I missed a couple. At least. I’m just going to keep on blogging through, and I’ll add an extra here and there to make up for it. I don’t want my blogging about doing things with the kids to take away from actually doing things with the kids. 😉
At our church, our pastor has been using clips from The Bible series that played on the History channel recently (he helped produce it) and on Easter, the clips he showed were from the crucifixion. How humbling!
