Family Home Evening

Honoring Your Parents
Needed:
Printout of Face and Smile (best on cardstock)
Fastener
10 pieces of paper and 2 pencils/pens
Cut out mouth and fasten it to the face so you can make the face frown or smile. Tape it to the wall.
Read Exodus 20:12. What does it mean to honor and obey your parents?
Split into two teams. Separate into different rooms. Give each team 5 pieces of paper and a pencil. Have each team think of 5 ways to either obey or disobey your parents. After everyone has thought of 5 things, have everyone come back into the room.
Have the first team pick one of their own pieces of paper. Have them act out a scene with that situation. Have the opposite team decide whether it is obeying or not obeying your parents by placing a smile or frown on the boys face.
After the activity bare your testimony about how obeying our parents can make us happy.

Family Home Evening pack

This is the Family Home Evening section of the Family Planner that we are working on.
The Family Home Evening Pack includes:
Journal page

Planner page

Photo page

Lesson/Handout page

As part of our Family Home Evening we write a Journal page.  It's fun to let everyone share their favorite part of the evening and what we learned. 
We also try to take a few pictures of the kids having fun and paricipating in the activity or making treats. 
 We keep a copy of the lesson if possable to refer back to during the week and a copy of any ccute handouts we used. 
 The planner page is where we write down who has what assignment.  This is a paper copy of what is on your Family Home Evening board. 
 It is so fun to look back at our Family Home Evening "scrapbook" and remember how much fun we had and laugh together. 
 To begin to asemble your Family planner get a one inch binder and sheet protectors.  It works best if they are the glossy kind as we will be writing on them with a wet erase marker. 
 As each section or page comes avalable print them off and put them in the sheet protectors in the binder to keep them safe.  When we are all done I will go over how to assemble your new Family Planner.  You will love it!

Family Home Evening Board

This is a super cute and super easy activity we did for Family Home Evening.
The items we used were:
A Decorative Metal Hanger
A Wood Board
Wood craft tags
Plastic frames
(I got mine at wal-mart for $1)
Spry paint (any color)
Hot glue
Ribbon and embellishments
And a few small nails
First we sprayed the wood board and tags.
While they were drying we put our pictures in the plastic frames.
We then cut our ribbon and hot glued it to the back of our frame so it made a loop.
We strung ribbon through the top of the wood tags and hot glued them to the back of the board.
We then attached the ribbon to the back of the board at the top and tied it to our hanger.
To hang our pictures on the board, we tapped in some small nails on the top of our board so they lined up with our tags.
We labeled our tags with things like:
Opening Prayer
Scripture
Thought
Song
Lesson
Activity
Treat
Journal Page
Closing Prayer
We put small embellishments like bows on our tags and on the corners of our board.  It would be really cute with flowers, buttons and other cute things to make it personal to you.
Then hang your new Family Home Evening Board up in a special place.  I hung ours in the living room.  It's easy to see and serves as a reminder to everyone what their assignment is.  The kids love to see their pictures and help remind Mom and Dad to have Family Home Evening!  So Cute and Easy.  Enjoy!
