As we prepare for Easter Sunday my desire is to give our children tangible ways to remember the Easter story. To do this our family incorporates various teaching tools to experience Holy Week together. These memory making discipleship opportunities create Gospel centric conversations and can even generate new family traditions.

Below I’ve linked my all-time favorite resurrection themed Easter teaching materials with a brief overview of what they include (This list contains one absolutely free resource!). But, the truth is – it only takes one intentional resource to create an organic discipleship opportunity with your child. Although this list is extensive, the scripture and the Holy Spirit in us gives us everything we need to teach our children about Jesus’ death and resurrection!
