Best Easter Bible Trivia Questions Free Printable
How well does your family know the Easter story? These Easter trivia questions will test your Bible knowledge of the story of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
As Easter season draws closer, I like to take time the week before to review the Biblical story of Easter with my children to help prepare our hearts to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection.
Preparing For Easter In Our Home
There are a few ways we prepare for Easter celebrations in our home. We review hymns like “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” and “Up From the Grave He Arose.” Listening to the “Easter Song” by Keith Green or “He’s Alive” by Don Francisco is also a favorite pastime for us.
In Art, we may observe paintings like “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci or “Supper at Emmaus” by Caravaggio.
For more Easter holiday for families, I love the ideas suggested in this post by Ambleside Online.
Undoubtedly the most important preparation for Easter is the time we spend reading portions of the gospels, specifically on the death and resurrection of Christ.
As a fun addition to our Scripture reading, these trivia questions are fun to ask kids and help them to carefully listen to the story as it is being read aloud to them.
Ways to Use the Easter Bible Trivia Questions
I like to use these Bible quiz questions with my kids during Morning Time, but you can also use it as a fun activity for a Sunday School lesson or as an Easter story trivia game in youth group or small group Bible study.

Let’s give our kids Easter traditions that leave an impression of the beauty of the gospel on their hearts. Whether it be through the written Word, music, art, poetry, or games of trivia, I hope their first thoughts will be of Jesus, the Son of God who came to die, rise again, and take away the sins of the world.
Happy Resurrection Day!
