“The home is the first and most effective place for children to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control; the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.” -- President David O. McKay

Resurrection Eggs

Simply purchase a bag of plastic eggs and place the scripture and items listed in parenthesis into each egg. Display eggs in egg carton, deviled egg tray, basket, wire egg holder, or any other creative way.

Possible ways to use these eggs:

Egg Hunt:  Hide the eggs around the house and allow the children to find them all.  Then have each child open their eggs and discuss what the items in each egg represent. (You may wish to number the eggs so that you open them in the correct order.)

Scrambled Eggs:  Have the children match the scripture to the appropriate item, or have them put the story in sequence.  (Use un-numbered eggs for this.)

Egg-cellent Memory:  When all the items have been revealed, place a towel over them.  Have the children list as many items as they can remember.

12 Days to Easter Advent:  Open Egg #1 on the 12th day before Easter.  Open a new egg every day until Easter.  Egg #12 will be opened on Easter Day.
