One of our favorite things to do for Family Home Evening is to invite another family to join with us. So this evening we had four adults and 11 children (4-13) to teach. Here is what we did.
Before: I had chosen seven random scripture references and wrote them on separate pieces of paper.
We divided into three team of five.
Each team was to have one set of scriptures and five Church magazines. (We had an assortment of all three for each group – Ensign, The New Era, and The Friend).
Each team was then given one of the scripture references. As a group they were to read the scripture and then find a picture in one of their Church Magazines that best portrayed their scripture.
Then each group shared their scripture and their picture with everyone.
After a few times of doing that, we decided to make it a little more competitive. In which we chose only one scripture reference, read it to all the groups and the first group to come up with a picture from a magazine was the winner.
Not only was it a fun night, but it enabled us to get into the scriptures and into the Church Magazines simultaneously.
And what was even more amazing is that? Without fail, there was a picture to represent each “random” scripture I had chosen!
It made for a fun night!
BTW: Here were our "random" scripture references:
Alma 34:9
Doctrine and Covenants 42:41
1 Corinthians 16:13
Exodus 12:11
Ezekiel 34:12
John 14:18
Mosiah 3:3
Doctrine and Covenants 50:3
