- How To Draw An Easter Cross
- Create an “Alleluia” Family Banner: Have each family member decorate a piece of paper with the word ALLELUIA or a symbol of the Resurrection. Put the pieces together to create a banner for your home.
- Plant Seeds of Hope: Give each family member a small seed or plant to care for during the Easter Season. As the plant grows, talk about how God brings new life. Families could write one “seed of hope” on a piece of paper—something they hope to grow in their own lives, such as kindness, patience, prayer, or generosity.
- Easter Acts of Kindness Challenge: Create a family list of 10 small acts of kindness to complete during the Easter Season.
- Family Prayer & “Resurrection Light”: Choose one evening during the Easter Season to gather as a family around a candle. Turn off the lights and begin with the simple words: “Jesus is risen! Alleluia!” Then have each family member share: Something they are thankful for. Someone they want to pray for. One way they saw God working in their life that week.
