· A few years ago, we hid painted rocks in a short loop and printed maps with the Easter story alongside that told them what pictures were on the rocks (cup, garden, cross, empty tomb etc, there were 10 in total). By Easter people will have a little more freedom but it’s also something where they can stay local. Just got to check no one takes your rocks even if you write on them to leave them!
· We are doing an Easter Alphabet trail for people to follow round the village.
