We often keep things of value in special places: important documents kept in a secured file or safe, dinner china in a display cabinet, or treats too good to share with kids up on the top shelf. These things are kept safe and out of easy reach for good reasons, but there are other things of value we need to make sure are always available to us. Our scriptures are one of these things.
Not just ordinary books, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price are in our own hands every day. We find comfort in God’s words and in the stories of past saints. We receive revelation from Heaven on what we need to do in life. Truly, “for the good of the church, and for the rising generations,” our scriptures are some of the most valuable possessions we have (Doctrine and Covenants 69:8).

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
Follow the scripture arrows on a journey through The Doctrine and Covenants. Use your guide to help you find scriptures in D&C 67-69 that teach about many doctrines. After you read the scripture, find which picture on the Doctrine & Covenants Teaches Us… page and color it in. Use this as a guide as you search for key doctrines we are taught in the scriptures.
Hands-On Activity
Enjoy a nature walk and listen for the sounds you hear. We use our ears to hear sounds outside, and we also use our ears to listen to the prophet and apostles’ voices. In D&C 68:3-4, we read that their voices and teachings come from Heavenly Father. Make the big ear headbands and wear them as you listen to the song “Come, Listen to a Prophet’s Voice.”
Surprise Activity
In section 68 of D&C, the Lord gives parents the law to teach their children the gospel and principles of righteousness. Read verses 25, 26 and 31 and think about the lessons your parents have taught you. Using our homemade sidewalk chalk or store-bought sticks, draw murals of what you have learned from your parents. Have a family art walk and share your testimony of what you created!

Go & Do Activity
Teach that each of us can choose to be baptized like Jesus. Some people are baptized when they are eight, and others are baptized when they are older. Explain that your child can choose to be baptized when they turn eight years old. Help them count eight fingers or eight birthday candles. Count how many more birthdays they will have before they turn eight. Read D&C 68:27. Decorate the “I Can’t Wait Until I’m 8!” birthday cake and glue eight candles on the cake. Sing “I Can’t Wait Until I’m Eight” (Children’s Songbook, pg. 104). For a special treat, you could even make cupcakes!

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
