Here are some activities that go along with this week’s topic in Come Follow Me 3/25
Sunday Kids Activities for Come Follow Me 3/25
- Do this week’s free activity pages from Color Me Christian (or do them in the workbook if you purchased it from Amazon).
- Watch Chapter 53: Jesus Is Crucified” and “Chapter 54: Jesus Is Risen”
- Read Gérald Caussé, “A Living Witness of the Living Christ,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2020,
- Have a special family singing time with the songs about Easter from the Hymns and Children’s Songbook.
- There is a video series called Special Witnesses of Christ. It includes videos of each member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles bearing testimony of Jesus Christ. Your family could watch one or more of these videos and discuss what they teach us about what the Savior has done for us.
- Watch “The Testaments: Of One Fold and One Shepherd“
- Read Reyna I. Aburto, “The Grave Has No Victory,” Liahona, May 2021,
- As a family, read “The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” and invite each family member to pick an Easter message from this testimony to share with others. For example, you might create posters to display on social media, on your front door, or in a window.
- Make a resurrection garden.
- Read to the children the first few lines of Mosiah 3:7, and invite them to pretend they are feeling “pain … , hunger, thirst, and fatigue [tiredness].” Then ask them to share times when they have felt these things. Then tell the children that this verse describes some things Jesus Christ felt when He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane. Because of this, He knows how to help us when we feel these things. Read Alma 7:11 aloud, and ask the children if they know someone who is sick or in pain. Afterwards, testify that Jesus Christ felt all of our “pains and sicknesses” so that He could understand how to comfort us (Alma 7:12).
- Watch “Finding Faith in Christ” to learn more about the Savior
- See if your Church library or the missionaries have a copy of the movie “The Lamb of God.” If not, you can find it on YouTube. This movie is a little more intense and focuses heavily on the last week of the Savior’s life; it shows a brief realistic representation of the pain the Savior endured in Gethsemane and on the cross. (This may be a little intense for some young children.)
- Invite your children to look for someone this week who needs comfort. Encourage them to share with this person what they learned about the Savior taking upon Himself our pain so He could comfort us.
