I’ve always wanted families to experience Holy Week and not just hear about it. That’s what led me to create the Holy Week Family Kit. It gives you simple, meaningful ways to walk through each day with your kids so they can see, feel, and remember what Jesus did for them.
The Holy Week Family Kit has 8 days of devotions and activities for your family to do. Here are the activities:
Palm Sunday
Families will decorate a palm branch (I included white cardstock palm branches for them to color)
Last Supper
Communion with your family (I included a mini loaf of this No Knead bread for them to use). Or you can use Hawaiian rolls too!
Foot Washing
Family members wash each other’s feet using a bowl of water and towel. In the kit I included a small piece of a towel to use as a reminder of how Jesus served His disciples.
Garden of Gethsemane
Families will write prayers on the olive printable and pray over them during the week.
Peter Denies Jesus
Families will color the rooster coloring page and write their names on the rooster as a reminder that they choose to follow Jesus.
Crucifixion
Families will take a mini wooden cross and drape a piece of black fabric over it to remind them of the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Somber Saturday
Families will write letters to Jesus on the “Dear Jesus” letterhead. There is also a place for them to draw a picture for Him.
Resurrection
Families will color and decorate the He is Alive printable, cut it out, and string together to make a banner to display in their home.
Praying these kits will help your children focus on Jesus during Holy Week!

Would love to do this with my family
How did you assemble the kits with all the many pieces? Did you just place everything in the bag? Or were they separated somehow?
Hi Christian! I put all the pieces of the kit into a brown Kraft bag with handles. Then I attached the list of items on the outside of the bag and put everything else into it.
How do I access this? I tried subscribing but i didn’t get the resource still
This is fantastic! Would love to have this. Thanks for sharing.
I am leading the children’s ministry at the church my husband and I pastor, and I would love to have access to this fantastic resource. We are in search of a part-time children’s minister and live in high cost of living area so finding someone called to ministry among folks that already live in our area is a challenge. In the interim, I have had to jump in to cover things.
Thank you,
Kim
FYI–The Garden of Gethsemane stickers from Oriental Trading have been discontinued.
Does anyone know where we can get comparable stickers@ since these are no longer carried at Oriental Trading?
I would like access to the Holy Week kit. I subscribed and got an email, but don’t see it.
Thanks 😊
Sent you an email!
I love this! I would love to do this st my small church in MS.
Love this idea!
Love this resource!! Our church used it for Holy Week 2020. We created the kits and delivered to each family and it was a perfect way to to connect with the families even though we couldn’t be together. I’m hoping we’ll do it again this year too!
