Play a game of “Who Are We?”
Show children the name of a
family from the scriptures such
as the family of Adam and Eve,
Abraham and Sarah, Lehi and
Sariah, or Joseph and Mary.
Help them answer yes-or-no
questions about the family they
belong to.
Have the other Primary children
ask questions to find out about
the family.
A child might ask,
- “Do we learn about your family from the Book of Mormon?”
Be
prepared with some hints and
picture clues. When each family
is identified, tell about the
family, and show where this
family is found in the
scriptures.
Ask the children to think of one
good quality of the family that
they would like to have in their
own family.
For example,
- “I would like my family to be patient like Abraham and Sarah’s family.”
Show the children a copy of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” From paragraph 7 read, “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Bear your testimony about the truth of this statement and about the importance of righteous families.
Sing “Families Can Be Together Forever” (p. 188)
