Maybe you have cherished Easter family traditions that you’ve done for the past 15 years, or maybe, like us, you’re navigating the challenges of moving and raising a young child, fighting to weave the Gospel into the busyness and chaos of daily life. As Easter approaches, I want to challenge you to carve out intentional time to sit down with your children and discuss the Gospel and the true significance of Easter. While Easter baskets, egg dyeing, and egg hunts are wonderful traditions, they aren’t inherently wrong—but if our celebration stops there, with just a brief church visit for photos, we risk depriving our children of the deeper, transformative meaning of Easter. Instead, let’s prioritize sharing the heart of the Gospel story with them during this sacred season. No matter how young they may be, don’t underestimate the power of doing something to celebrate the Resurrection.
Below, you’ll find a list of different activities and resources that you can do with your family to strike up conversations and questions about the Gospel and Easter. I pray this helps you and your children celebrate the Resurrection during this season.
