Ideas for Teaching Children
Because of Jesus Christ, I will be resurrected.
To teach your children about resurrection, you could start by showing them pictures of the death and Resurrection of the Savior. Let your children share what they know about these events. You could also sing a song like “Did Jesus Really Live Again?” (Children’s Songbook, 64).
Consider an object lesson that could help your children understand what happens when we die (our spirits and bodies separate) and when we are resurrected (our spirits and bodies come back together, and our bodies are perfect and immortal). For example, what happens when we remove the battery from a flashlight or the ink container from a pen? What happens when they are reunited? (See Alma 11:44–45.)
After you show them how Jesus Christ's spirit came back into his body to be resurrected, you can pass out these mittens so they can make their bodies and spirit bodies.
Cut out and fold on the dotted line. Glue the edges and leave the bottom open. This will go on the child’s hand first. Showing that as their body leaves their spirit and then being resurrected.
Sing together a song about the Resurrection, such as "Did Jesus Really Live Again?" or "Jesus Has Risen"
I have Tresa Anderson to thank for this. I totally forgot about this printable.
D&C 76:11-24; 110:1-7; JSH 1:14-17
The Prophet Joseph Smith saw Jesus Christ.
Come Follow Me- For Primary “Show the children a picture of Joseph Smith’s First vision. Invite the children to tell you what is happening in the picture, and ask them to find Jesus Christ. Ask the children if they know about other times Joseph Smith saw the Savior. In your own words, tell about the experiences described in D&C 76:11-24, 110:1-7. Tell the children how these scriptures build your faith in Jesus Christ.”
So small children can go looking for Jesus.
If you are teaching a large group and would like this bigger, click on the print button, but instead of printing, download it and send it to a copy center to have it made the size you want.
If you have older children, you might invite them to look for phrases that capture the message of Easter in the following passages: Doctrine and Covenants 63:49; 88:14–17, 27; 138:11, 14–17. They could do the same with the video “Because He Lives” (Gospel Library). How can we share this message with others?
I've updated this slide printable to go with this lesson.
Here are some pictures of what it will look like when assembled:
Show the video "The Shiny Bicycle" or tell a story of your own about a child who made a wrong choice and then repented. Help the children discuss what the child in the story did to receive forgiveness. How has the Savior made it possible for us to be forgiven?
Here is another one that explain Jesus Christ grace. I love it!
