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!

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.
