Sharing Time - Family Home Evening Lessons

Object: To make and teach a Family Home Evening Lesson for the children to take home and teach during their own FHE.

Preparation: Prepare the FHE lesson, activity/game, and optional treat idea (just the recipe) in advance. Make enough copies so that one child from each family takes one home.

Directions: Teach or go over the FHE lesson in Sharing Time, have the children participate in the lesson and activity. Explain to them that they can now take the lesson home and teach it in their own Family Home Evening.

Example: The lesson is about the importance of prophets. Find the resources to go with the lesson, such as:

Articles:

• LDS Church Leaders
• LDS Church Presidents

Games:

• Don't Eat the Prophet
• Name that Prophet
• Name Game
• Word Search

Clipart and New Era Posters:

• Prophets (scroll down)
• "Family Ties"
• "Hang Out with Your Family"
• "Invest in Bonds"
• "Do Your Homework"

Note: For families with more than one child you can suggest that each child do a different part of the lesson or activity.
