“O Grave, Where Is Thy Victory?”

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 17 | April 15 - April 21

Spring is in the air and it is the season to celebrate new life. Easter is on the way and midst the egg hunts and bunny surprises it is essential that we also teach of Christ. One way to focus on the blessings of the Savior’s atonement is to spend time each day this next week reading about the last week of His life. As the main focus of your materials we have provided a schedule for you to follow. There are eight days of learning and teaching.

Each day there is reading assignment, a time line picture to hang in your home, and a simple activity to complete. Be sure to start on Sunday this week or double up a day so you have time to study every aspect of the Easter story before Easter Sunday. At the end of the week you should have a beautiful timeline of pictures on display in your home.

Here is a sneak peak of a few of the items you will use this week. Watch Instagram for daily reminders to help keep you on track. I highly recommend the beautiful felt kit from J.M. Porium. The quality is excellent and I have had it up all month for my kids to play with and be surrounded by the Easter story.

As usual we have coloring pages for your kids to complete. This week there are even two pages! Do them both or just choose one, your choice!

The story of the 10 virgins is told wonderfully on churchofjesuschrist.org. At my house we used the video called, They That Are Wise. Provided in your materials is a quote, paper oil lamps for an activity, word strips to explain the parable and directions. If you want your kids to think you are a really cool parents and you can even grab this real ancient lamp, light it and teach around it’s light. Using real oil to burn will help them understand the story of the ten virgins even more. Another good option for a lamp is HERE.

Of course there are more materials and goodies this week not pictured. Your family will enjoy these as you study the last week of Christ’s life.

One of the best parts of this week will be to let your children teach you. On Easter Sunday make the finger puppets provided and have a family puppet show. Let the children teach you what they have learned. That is one of the best ways to assess understanding and help them to retain what you have taught all week.

Happy Easter! May we remember the reason we celebrate. It is because of our Savior. He is risen!

Enjoy this week!

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
