A Story Reading for Easter – Readilearn

Written by

Easter Delivery is a story about Bilby twins Benny and Belinda who are excited to be old enough to make their first Easter delivery on their own. Before they are allowed to go out, they must prove to Mother and Father Bilby that they are capable of following instructions and delivering just the right number of Easter eggs for each family.

This video provides a brief introduction to the story.

The story encourages children to join in helping Benny and Belinda work out the number of Easter eggs required for each family and choosing which boxes or packs of eggs to leave. It is most suited for use on an interactive whiteboard with a small group or class of children, or on a computer with one or two children.

It can also be used interactively with children if teaching over Zoom as explained in this video.

In this next video, I read the story for you and your children to enjoy.

    There are many wonderful spring traditions. Eggs are a sign of renewal in many of them 😀

      That’s right, Jules. The eggs began with the celebration of spring. Easter celebrations coincided with that and adopted the egg as it’s own. Fits for a new beginning too. 🙂

        Any number of faiths either adopted or worked into their systems original area beliefs which may have been more nature related.

          They did. In many ways. 🙂

    The Easter Bilby — now that’s a different take for kids here. Looks like a fun read and an introduction to celebrations around the world.

      Thank you, Patricia. It’s not really about international Easter celebrations, just the Easter Bilby here in Australia.

      Interesting to learn about bilbies but so disappointed they don’t deliver Easter eggs 😦

        Now that comment tells me that you listened to the video all the way through, Anne. I didn’t expect you to do that, but hoped some children might. 😊 Thank you for your support.

          I confess I might have been doing something else in the background, but lovely listening to you read.

        I’m never offended by people sending me greetings (unless I’m extremely miserable and that hasn’t been acknowledged) though I doubt I’ll notice Easter. Although I did go to an onoline singing workshop yesterday with music from the ‘Passion’ which is a Christian thing.
        If the weather’s fine, the crowds will be out. Wishing you the best for yours, presumably with the grandkids?

          Thank you, Anne. I hope you have lovely weather to be out enjoying your walks. I’m not sure about the grandkids. They had other plans which may now change due to Covid. We’ll see.
          I have never considered/would never consider you miserable. I just know you don’t do the Easter celebration thing – either way. 🙂

      Thank you, Jacqui. I thought the video reading may make the story accessible to more children. Of course, it’s better for them to be involved with the interactive lesson, but I hope they enjoy the story anyway.
