“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!

“Comfort Ye My People”

There are stages in life that feel like they go on forever, especially in parenthood: sleepless nights helping kids stay in their own beds, potty training for weeks unending, and running to and from after-school activities. While the privilege of being a parent is a blessing, it can be exhausting just trying to keep up every day. Isaiah taught that when we feel like we have nothing left in us, we should rely on the Lord to give us strength (Isiah 40:29). After all, are we not caring for His children?

“A Marvellous Work and a Wonder”

One could look at the work being done by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints today and describe it as “marvelous” and a “wonder” (Isaiah 29:14). With temples across the world, missionaries on nearly every continent, and millions of suffering people relieved by Church aid, it truly is impressive. Yet Isaiah marveled not at the Church itself, but at the healing power of Jesus Christ in the hearts of so many of God’s children. It’s not the temples themselves that are a wonder, but the eternal covenants made inside. It’s not the number of missionaries serving that is a marvelous work, but the individual souls who are being taught by each sister and elder. It’s not the exact dollar amount spent on humanitarian efforts that made Isaiah’s vision great, but the difference made in each life through kindness and giving in the Savior’s name.

“God is My Salvation”

Though the writings of Isaiah can be intimidating to study, we are encouraged to dive in and embrace this special part of the Old Testament. Isaiah is unique in that the entire book is written by him, as opposed to the historical texts we read earlier this year. Think about it: the word of the Lord straight from the mouth of an ancient prophet in your own home.
