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!

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
