How to celebrate Easter at home

Easter will be different for many families this year. Many traditional activities can't happen, but there are still ways to celebrate the Easter holiday with loved ones while observing stay-at-home and social distancing guidelines. 

1) Watch Easter service online

Although we won't be able to hold in-person Easter church services this year, there are dozens of services that will be streamed online. Many of the services can be watched on an app, Facebook or Youtube.

2) Connecting with loved ones

While we can’t see our loved ones in person there are still many ways to connect with friends and loved ones this Easter Sunday. 

You can use Facetime, Marco Polo, Skype, and Zoom to virtually chat with people. And of course, a traditional phone call is always a great option. 

3) Kids activities

At-home egg hunt: You can still have an egg-hunt in your own house or yard while practicing social distancing with loved ones you live with. 

Coordinate with neighbors or friends to hop on a video call and do the hunt at the same time. Kids can show each other when they've found eggs through the camera.

Easter math activity: If you’re looking for a learning activity this Easter egg hunt activity is great. It's super easy to prep/play...here's what you need to do:

1. Print the task cards

2. Cut them out

3. Place one card in each egg

4. Hide the eggs

5. Give each kid a recording sheet

6. Instruct kids to find the eggs

7. Kids solve the problems inside each egg

8. Kids write the answers on the recording sheets

Lastly, If you’re finding yourself struggling with being at home this Easter Sunday please remember Jesus’s words, He said it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath — and that "wherever two or three are gathered in my name, there I am with them."
