Easter

“I Am He Who Liveth, I Am He Who Was Slain”

March 29-April 4

Scripture: D&C 110:4

Activity Idea: Easter Eggs and Resurrection

I’m currently serving with in the primary organization in my ward and we put together these eggs for our primary children. I thought that it would be a fun thing to do in our home as we celebrate Christ this Easter.

Easter Egg Restriction Lesson:

As a family, take turns opening the eggs in order and reading the scripture. Discuss the significance of each scripture and object.

Activity Idea from the Church: Celebrate Jesus Christ

• Sing “Jesus Has Risen” (Children’s Songbook, 70).
• Share your favorite scriptures or stories about Jesus. Then flip through old Church magazines and cut out pictures of Him. Glue or tape the pictures together on a paper or poster to make a collage.
• You can find more Easter stories and activities in the March 2021 Friend.
