It’s that time of year again when one moment you’re filling your tummy with some lovely pancakes on Tuesday; making a promise to give up something for Lent on Wednesday; and, before you know it, it’s Good Friday and Easter Sunday!

This daily countdown can only mean one thing – Easter is coming, and you need to get your school assembly or church concert good to go! For this week’s blog, we’re keeping it short and sweet - just like a packet of mini eggs – and we’re sharing our 5 favourite Easter songs from our 5 favourite Easter songbooks. Read carefully as there are also some fun craft and dance activities to compliment these crackin’ tunes!

Everyone feels a little spark of joy when they hear the first line of this classic Easter hymn. Really work on the harmonies in this song for an outstanding gospel performance that will guarantee a standing ovation from any audience.


 
2. Spring Chicken from Songs For Every Easter, ages 5-11
Everyone knows and loves this one – it’s an Out of the Ark Music classic! Young children will have a ball as, one by one, four little chicks hatch out in time for the cheeky, bouncy chorus.

4. He Is Risen (Easter Blessing) from Songs for Every Spring Assembly, ages 5-11
