Help the children prepare a family home evening for their families (with their parents’ permission).

Set up three stations (see “Stations,”TNGC, 179).
Divide the children into three groups, and have them rotate through the stations.

At station 1 make a sign to be posted in their homes that reads, “Love Is Spoken Here.” Review the song presentation (see idea 5) so the children will be able to teach their families the truths in the song.

At station 2 tell a story of the first person in a family to join the Church. Challenge the children to find their own stories of an ancestor or family member to share in family home evening.

At station 3 teach the children to prepare a simple treat. Using the Kitchen Krafts page from an issue of the Friend, select a treat that would be simple and inexpensive for a child to make.

Sing “The Family” (p. 194), and let the children softly clap the long-short rhythm. Explain that there is a fermata—a musical pause—in the song, and ask the children to listen for it. The clapping should stop during the fermata.

Bear testimony of how family prayer, family scripture study, and family home evening bring families together.
