NOW FOR A COMBINED FHE IDEA:

A Family Home Evening Lesson for the

WHOLE FAMILY.

We meet once a month for a

Combined Family Home Evening

at my parent's home.

Yesterday our lesson was . . . "Follow the Prophet."

For an opening song you could sing:

Follow the Prophet - page 110, Children's Songbook

We divided our families into 3 groups:

The Little Ones

The Tweens and Teens

and

The Grown-Ups

Here's what we did in each group:

The Little One's Group got to go on a "Prophet's Hunt."

We made two copies of each of the pictures of the Prophet's

and attached a popsicle stick to the back of each one.

Here's the PDF:

We hid each of them in the yard for "the little ones" to find.

They had soooo much fun

looking for each of the Prophet's!

After they found all of the pictures, we put them in order in

my mom's flower garden. 

We took the opportunity to talk

about each of the Prophet's and how important it is to

Follow Them!

We talked about the sweet blessings of being obedient,

and then . . .

we gave them a sweet treat at the end.

We threw candy in the air and let them grab as much as their

little hands could hold.

Here's the PDF for the pictures of the Prophet's:

For the Tween and Teens:

We had a . . .

"Follow the Prophet" Scavenger Hunt!

They were given clues and had to collect a footprint

at each stop.

16 Footprints to be exact!

(Reading the clues . . . trying to figure things out!)

Each footprint had a letter and a clue on the back.

Here's the Footprint PDF:

Here's an example of one of the clue cards:

I'm including the PDF even though your hiding places

will be different.  Maybe this can help you brainstorm a little.

After they had gathered each of the footprints,

they had to put the letters in order to spell the words:

"FOLLOW THE PROPHET"

Here it is . . . All Spelled Out!

The next part of the Tween and Teen Challenge

was to divide into groups of 3 and list as many of the

Latter-Day Prophets as they could.

They sang the Prophet's Song, they tried to look on the

cards the little one's had used and they worked together

to get the biggest lists.

More Thinking . . .

Here are the Winners!

For the Grown-Up Part of Family Home Evening

we played READY!

(It's like BINGO.)

Here's what the READY Cards look like:

(I worked really hard on these. They are for personal use only.

Please don't sell them or mass produce them in any way. . . Bless your hearts forever

for being respectful of my time . . . not that I expect anything less!)

Here's the PDF:

(Be Prepared . . . It's a BIG One!)

Ok, so I just tried to download this file and it's too big.

If you are interested in the READY Bingo Game,

Leave a comment and we'll figure something out!

We started out by having everyone mark off the

preparedness items they already had at home.

Some of the cards were a little sparce . . . but not for long!

We gave inexpensive preparedness items as prizes.

My mom has a special drawing at each of our combined

Family Home Evenings, just to keep things exciting.

This month we could win ties or a pillowcase.

My mom is THE BEST!

We have a lot of FUN with this Family Tradition!

We hope YOU and YOUR FAMILY

Have a GREAT Night!
