Family Home Evening Fun!

Last night for Family Home Evening I printed off Pass The Sacrament.  We had a lesson on being reverent during the sacrament and the kids always love it when I pull out the games Grandma makes.  I followed the outline from Lesson #38 I Will Remember Jesus Christ During The Sacrament in the CTR A Primary Manual. 
I made some adaptions since only one of my kids is Junior Primary aged and two are Senior Primary.  Pass The Sacrament is designed to help you move through your lesson by playing while you teach the lesson.  We made 2 teams and each team took a turn answering a question.  Then they would draw a card that would tell them how many kids to pass the sacrament tray to.  It's all luck as to who gets to the end the fastest.  I was impressed when my 11 year old said, "It's OK if you didn't win, because really it means you took more time to think about Jesus while the sacrament was being passed."  Here is a list of some of the questions I asked.

MARCH MADNESS FHE IDEAS

Is your TV constantly on the March Madness Basketball Games?  Well, here are some great Family Home Evening games that will help you pull dad away form the game.  Book of Mormon Basketball and Old Testament Basketball are fun games to play with your whole family.  Create your own questions that go with any lesson, topic, or as a review.  Create balls to toss by rolling up old socks, using Nerf-type balls, or ping-pong balls.  Give each player a question to answer...if they answer correctly, they may toss their ball into the basket.  If they make it, they then can pick a basketball from the paper sack.  They keep it and the points it has printed on it.  When all the basketballs have been taken from the paper sack, the game is over and everyone adds up their score. 

Play Just Like Jesus for Family Home Evening!

Family Home Evening is a great time to reinforce what your children were taught in Primary.  Recently your Junior Primary children learned how Jesus was once a child too.  Being Just Like Jesus is a fun game that helps you teach your children to be more like Jesus and want to follow his example.  (This lesson compliments Lesson #9 in the CTR A Primary Manual, you can find this lesson here )
