The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God’s kingdom on the earth, but it didn’t just appear out of nowhere. As the Church grew from a few members to millions, God gave wisdom to men and women “for a permanent and everlasting establishment and order unto my church… to the salvation of man, and to the glory of your Father who is in heaven” (Doctrine and Covenants 78:4). Just as with the early saints, we are led along by His hand in bringing the gospel to the world. We can always trust in Him to guide us in all things.

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
Let children use the Break the Code to learn about this week’s focus. After they have broken the code, discuss “Be of good cheer, I will lead thee along.” What does that mean to you? How can you let the Lord lead you along? Then play Follow the Leader. Let each child have a turn being the leader.
Hands-On Activity
Learn about receiving “all things in thankfulness” by acting out being ungrateful and grateful after receiving a gift. Read D&C 78:18-19 and ask, “What does the Lord promise us if we receive ‘all things in thankfulness’?” Discuss some ways we can show Heavenly Father we are grateful for His blessings.
Surprise Activity
Read D&C 80 together. Emphasize “Go ye, go ye and preach my gospel.” Play the Go Ye Red Light, Green Light Game. After your game, discuss how we can go and share the gospel. Then brainstorm ideas of how you can share the gospel this week.

Go & Do Activity
As a family, go on a walk and look at all the amazing things God has created for us. Collect some of those things to make a “creation collage.” After your walk, explain that God created this beautiful Earth because He loves us. We can show our gratitude for this blessing by taking care of the Earth. When we see all of God’s beautiful creations, we can remember that He loves us. Next, gather some glue and cardstock paper. Use all of the things you collected to make a beautiful collage!

Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers did not come after they had paid restitution or offered an apology. He forgave them the moment he realized they had changed from their jealous ways when they offered themselves in place of Benjamin for punishment. How overwhelming it must have been for Joseph to see such love amongst his brothers. His forgiveness came with no strings attached: “be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves” (Genesis 45:5).
In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
