The ideas in this book are based on the storytelling tradition in which learning is by hearing, by seeing, by experiencing and by doing. The material breaks the story of Easter into seven sessions and can be used at any time over the Easter season. Sessions 1-5 could be presented at a Good Friday service and Sessions 6-7 on Easter Sunday. Equally, the whole story could be presented in all-age worship in church, or collective worship in schools in the week leading up to Easter, or at a special event arranged over the Easter weekend. The material could also be used as the basis for a Lenten Junior Church programme, or an Easter holiday club.

The Easter Journey provides an exciting opportunity for church-based children's teams to perform a delightful, easy-to-do presentation to their local primary schools. Aimed at Year 5 children, the material gives pupils and teacher alike a memorable learning experience by unfolding the Easter story through creative storytelling, simple drama and thought-provoking artefacts.
