For John 14–17

Whisper “I love you” to your little one. Tell them that the Holy Ghost whispers words of love and truth to our hearts and minds. We can’t often hear them with our ears, but they make us feel loved and safe.

For Luke 22; John 18

Sing “I’m Trying to Be like Jesus” (Children’s Songbook, 78–79) with your little ones. Give them a picture of Jesus to hold. Tell them lift it up high each time they hear “Jesus” in the song. Then help them say, “Jesus loves me.”

For Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19

Help your little ones say, “I can forgive others like Jesus did.” Explain that when we forgive, we help make it right. Act out a few scenes of times someone might need forgiveness, like after breaking a toy. Help your little ones think about what they could say.

For Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20–21

Tell your little ones about a family member who has died. Show a photo if you have one. Explain that people die, but that’s not the end. Help them say, “We will all live again after we die, just like Jesus did.”
