We all have trials regardless of how many times in a row we have Family Home Evening or make it to Church on time. Joseph Smith taught that those called of God to serve His children would be blessed through their struggles. Obeying God’s commandments can bring rewards that bless us in life and in eternity. When we look to our Father in Heaven for help in our lives, we choose Him instead of relying only on ourselves. We can feel His love daily, for “if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me” (D&C 132:23).

We have some great activities and resources to help assist you in celebrating a Christ-centered Easter this year! We recommend picking the activities that work best for you and your family. We think just a few activities will allow you to celebrate Easter, but also allow you time to focus on our Savior and what He has done for us. Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!
Scripture Study
Read the Scripture Jumble with your family. Discuss what you learned from the jumbled verse. Did you learn anything? Why? Read D&C 132:8 and then use it to unscramble the verse. Read it again. Does it make more sense this time? Why? Discuss how Heavenly Father doesn’t want us to be confused because He loves us.
Go & Do Activity
Show your family the Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ print. Read D&C 130:22. Ask your children what our bodies have in common with Heavenly Father and Jesus. Explain how we are created in their image. As a family, make a new healthy recipe or do something to move your body.
Coloring Activity
Read D&C 132:22 and discuss the way to return to live with Heavenly Father. Talk about the importance of making covenants as part of the way back to Him. Next, get your favorite coloring supplies and color the “I Can Live with Him Again” coloring page.

For kids ages 1-4 at home and in nursery or sunbeams.
Go & Do Activity
Use your child’s doll or toy figure to play a fun game. Direct your child to point to the doll’s head and then the toes. Point to the elbows and then the nose. Continue this game, naming the different parts of the doll’s body. If your child is extra wiggly, set the doll away from you. Have your child run or do different actions to the doll, and then have them show you the body part. Explain that Heavenly Father has given us bodies. We can do so many wonderful things with our bodies. With your child, sing “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 275a) and “I Wiggle” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 271). Teach that Heavenly Father and Jesus have bodies too. Our bodies were created in God’s image. That means that our bodies look just like Heavenly Father’s. Read D&C 130:22. Complete the Created in God’s Image activity page by following the instructions. Share your testimony that Heavenly Father and Jesus have bodies like us.

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
