The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ renewed the truth that Christ was born to save all mankind. Through His mortal ministry, His suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, His ministry in the Spirit World, and His resurrection, He offers healing to all our sorrows and pains. What greater gift could we be given than that?
As parents, we should share how much this gift means to us with our children, not just during Christmas, but every day. Testifying that He knows us and loves us teaches our children how to receive His help in their lives. Together, we can join the prophets in proclaiming, “God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.”

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!
Go & Do Activity
Use the Teach the Children Story, Ornament Key and Tree Activity to reflect on the symbols of Christ. The ornaments teach about the symbols of Christmas we see all around us at Christmas time. Use the ornaments, hold them up as they’re mentioned in the story and place them on the tree. The key is designed to discuss two ornaments each day during the week before Christmas. However, you can do this as a family night activity all in one evening instead.
Hands-On Activity
Gather together as a family to make different scenes from the nativity with playdough! As you build, read the scripture references that go with each scene and talk about the story of Christ’s birth. What do you think it might have been like to be there? Reflect on the points of view of all those involved on that sacred night.
Coloring Page
Read Helaman 14:5-8 with your family. Discuss the prophecies of Christ’s birth and what things may have amazed you and caused you to wonder as you color the Jesus Christ was Born to Be My Savior coloring page.

Hands-On Activity
Wrap a box with a picture of Jesus inside. Explain that Heavenly Father has given His children a precious gift. The gift is more precious than toys or games. The gift is the most precious and important gift that has ever been given! Let your child open the gift. Explain that Heavenly Father gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to the world because He loves all of His children. We give gifts to others to show them that we love them, too. Christmas is a time to celebrate Jesus’ birth. With your child, celebrate Jesus’ birth by having a birthday party. Make cupcakes and let your child help decorate them. Add a candle and sing “Happy Birthday.” Share your testimony of the gift of Christ!

Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, but he found that once they were in the wilderness, it wasn’t so easy to take Egypt out of the Israelites. Even with the many miracles and signs the people had witnessed, they still wanted to return to a life of slavery with every hardship they encountered. If the Israelites were to be the Lord’s chosen people, this could not be.
How did Moses prepare the Israelites to make covenants with the Lord? We read in Exodus 25 that God gave commandments to His people to help them be ready for greater covenant blessings when He would “dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Even though the Israelites struggled to keep these commandments, they were eventually blessed as they remained true to the Lord. We will also receive all promised blessings as we live our lives in faithfulness.
Following the 10 Plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, you would think that the Israelites were in a powerful place spiritually. They had seen incredible miracles and had sure witnesses that the Lord was with them. Yet, upon facing a shortage of food and water, the people were willing to abandon everything God had done for them and return to slavery: “Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt… when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness” (Exodus 16:3).
