Activity:
If your children are old enough, take them to a Family History Center and learn about the work. As a family, you could then go and do proxy baptisms at the temple.
If your children are still younger, collect old family photos and take turns sharing stories about deceased family members. Explain that those people are still our family and we will be reunited with them again someday because of the power available with temple covenants.
Take your children to temple grounds and letting them feel the peace and touch the walls.

Quotes:
“Keep your covenants and you will be safe. Break them and you will not.”
(Elder Boyd K. Packer in Conference Report, Oct. 1990, 107-8)
“We go to the temple to make covenants, but we go home to keep the covenants that we have made.The home is the testing ground. The home is the place where we must learn to be more Christlike. The home is the place where we learn to overcome selfishness and give ourselves in service to others”
(Elder J. Ballard Washburn in Conference Report, Apr. 1995, 13)
