Christ-Centered Easter Ideas
Easter Scripture Scavenger Hunt
A sweet tradition you could add to your family is having a scavenger hunt to find their baskets of gifts. You can use scripture verses that would lead them to certain places in your home. It is a cute way to have them interact with the Word of God in a fun and unique way! Plus, they are excited to see their basket of gifts.

Visit a Cemetery
I think this is a wonderful place to discuss the future resurrection. Cemeteries don’t always have to be sad and poignant, take your family and spread some Easter cheer! They can “hide” Resurrection plastic eggs with little scripture verses inside for others to find when they visit their deceased loved ones. You could use plastic eggs to write sweet words over the outside to uplift and encourage others. Teach your children to respect cemeteries early on.
Take turns washing each other’s feet
Be like the Savior and wash someone’s feet. You could each take turns or have the father wash all the children’s feet. Whatever works for your family. This can be done during the “Last Supper” meal and also a great time to read the scriptures about Jesus washing his disciples feet. (Matthew 20:25-27 & John 13:1-17)
