When Josh came to me in 2009 and talked about the “Holy Week” that was right around the corner, and that he had some activities he wanted to implement in our family devotions to help our kids grasp what this season is really about, I had NO IDEA what Holy Week even was. 
We dove in head first and after researching it myself I had my own ideas to add to the table. We had our entire week planned out and had a blast with the kids putting everything into play. In fact, this week has become one of our family's all-time favorite times of the year! After participating in and blogging about our family activities for Holy Week we began to get a lot of feedback and questions about how we did our activities. Other resources we used? Key instructions for how it all tied into Easter Sunday? All this got the wheels in my head turning. I could just write it all down in one place so everyone would have a guide to use with their family as well. Once I got to work on writing it all out, my husband, a worship leader and songwriter, got his melodies in gear and wrote a song to go along with each week. Christmas is a great time of year, don't get me wrong, but Easter is the event that sets our God high above all the rest! He has conquered death and has been made a savior for all mankind. Please join us on February 18, 2015, at the beginning of Lent season, to bring this world-changing event to life for your kids! Because Easter is so much bigger than the bunny!

Sample Lesson!
Take a look at a sample lesson from the Lent and Holy Week devotional So Much Bigger Than the Bunny.
We usually celebrate with a unit study and extra church services.
We like making the resurrection rolls for Easter
Those are SO much fun to do with the kids!
We read books and watch films with Easter theme going into Easter Sunday which we always celebrate at our church.
My daughter turns 2 this year, so this is the first Holy week that she will really start to understand what it’s about. This would be a great resource for me to use to help teach her!
What a great time to begin these new traditions with her!
This is our first year celebrating with the kids. I’m still working on how well celebrate. 🙂
There are so many resources out there! I hope you find what will bring this season alive for your whole family!
We usually do some special school related/unit study and attend the services at out church.
Since my one child is grown, I now celebrate now with my “church kids”(5-7 yr old) in my Sunday school class.We are an inner city church that get a lot of “drop off” children. We learn about the real meaning of Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday. I try not to spoil their fun on that day by letting them know there is nothing wrong with candy and egg hunts but since this is the only exposure to Jesus Christ that they will receive. It’s amazing!
On Good Friday we spend the day quiet and in prayer and reading selected books and passages from the bible. Easter is a day of celebrating here and we go for breakfast at with family and go to church and then usually come home and do fun things with the kids. This year we hope to add some new traditions and go deeper into the meanings of the time.
