The elementary bundle is a treasure trove for kids aged 4-11, featuring activities that instill key principles. Let’s explore three highlights:
Go & Do Activity
This fun Holy Week Walk takes your family on a visual walk through the last week of Christ’s life. Before the activity, print and hang eight pictures provided with the lesson around your house. Each picture represents each day of the last week of Christ’s life. Visit each picture in order, read the summary or scripture references, and discuss what that part of Jesus’ life means. Be sure to assemble a Holy Week Passport for each child (see lesson details for passport materials). Your children will take their passport with them and collect a sticker for each day as you visit the pictures.
Hands-On Activity
Another activity to help your family understand the events leading up to Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection is to make a set of Resurrection Eggs. You will need a set of 12 plastic eggs, the paper strips from the activity file and the corresponding items (see lesson details). Have the children choose the eggs one by one. Read the sentences on the paper and discuss the object. To create a little more fun for your children, you could hide the eggs and have them find them!
Surprise Activity
Pass along the fun to your neighbors by using the “You’ve Been Egged!” door hangers. Gather 12 plastic eggs and fill all but one with a small treat. Then, hide the eggs around your neighbor’s yard, hang the door hanger on their doorknob, knock, and run! They will get to enjoy some treats and be reminded of this special time of year!

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
