Easter Egg Hunt 

Here are a few recommendations of how to make this year’s Easter Egg Hunts a hit with your kids:

1. Hide eggs around the house and yard — designate one egg with an extra special prize, like more candy, a toy, or a gift card.
2. If you cannot find last year’s plastic eggs or forget to pick some up on your essentials grocery trip, hide small toys like action figures, hot wheels, and dolls instead.

Attend a Church Service 

Dress up just as you would to attend an Easter service!

Since social distancing has closed the doors of church’s around the country, many services are now being podcast. Gather your family around your computer, television, or mobile device and tune into an Easter live stream.

If your church does not offer this service, try a new church (maybe even one that is not in New Orleans) or pull out your Bible and read versus related to Easter. Here are a few versus to consider.

Celebrate with your extended family 

Just because you can’t be with family physically doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the holidays together! Make your celebration a virtual one using Facetime, Google Duo, Zoom, Skype, or any other virtual meeting platform of your choosing.
