Use puzzles and songs to help children understand that "to help us prepare ourselves for life with Him, our Heavenly Father has organized us into families" (Family Guidebook [2001], 3).

Give each class a picture of an animal family that has been cut into puzzle pieces.
Have the class put the puzzle together. Discuss that many creatures live in families.
As each class shares its puzzle, you could sing songs about that group of animals. For example:

• birds, "Birds in the Tree" (p. 241);
• insects, "I Think the World Is Glorious" (p. 230);
• small animals, "The World Is So Big" (p. 235);
• and big animals, "All Things Bright and Beautiful," refrain (p. 231).

Before Primary, cut up a picture of a family into puzzle pieces.
On the reverse side, list songs about the family, such as:

• "A Happy Family" (p. 198),
• "Mother Dear" (p. 206),
• "My Dad" (p. 211),
• "Grandmother" (p. 200),
• "When Grandpa Comes" (p. 201),
• "Love Is Spoken Here" (pp. 190–91).

Have the children take turns choosing a puzzle piece, singing the song with the other children, and suggesting ways to strengthen their family
