Family Activity - Take a Family Penny Hike!

Have you ever taken a

Penny Hike?

They're alot of fun and they only cost 1 Penny!

Gather the Family and . . .

take a hike around the block. Each time you come

to a new street . . . flip the coin.

Heads you turn Right,

Tails you turn Left.

It's as simple as that!

The goal is to: Get Back HOME,

using as few flips as possible.

The sooner you get home . . . the sooner you can dish up

one of these AMAZING Cookies.

They're called:

Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies

Just a little piece of HEAVEN!

Here's the Recipe PDF:

P.S.

You may have to do the best 2 out of 3 flips to get

going back in the right direction.

JUST FOR FUN . . .

Add your LUCKY PENNY to you Family Journal

along with some pictures or a map of the path

you took on your hike.

Have a GREAT TIME!

By the Way . . .

This is a perfect FHE Object Lesson on Making Decisions,

BEFORE

you get into a tough situation.

Explain the importance of deciding what you will do

in different situations, long before you get there.

For Example:

If you decide to keep the Word of Wisdom at an early age,

when you are placed in that situation, you will already

know what you will do!

Flipping a coin to make a decision, or putting our choices

into someone elses hands like friends or giving in to peer pressure,

can lead us far

away from our original destination.

Make decisions before you need to . . . so that YOU are the

one to decide where YOU will end up!

My Mom had a GREAT IDEA for the Penny Hike!

Her idea was to . . .

Make a few plates of cookies to take with you on your hike.

Pick a number between 1-10.

Take your penny hike as usual

and when you get to the number you chose . . .

DELIVER THE FIRST PLATE OF COOKIES!

Keep going until all of the cookie plates are gone.

Way FUN!
