Family Home Evening ideas

Reinforcing Lessons from Primary

Emily Cushing,

Utah, USA

My children often bring home handouts they have colored or assembled in Primary. These drawings, finger puppets, popsicle stick figures, and other crafts illustrate the stories and principles they learned in class.

When we arrive home from church, I gather their handouts. The following night at family home evening, I return the items to my children, and they use them to explain the Primary lessons from the previous day.

This has been a fun and valuable way to use the handouts my children receive and create. Through recalling and teaching what they learned in class and sharing time, my children have the opportunity to internalize and reflect upon the gospel principles from Primary as our family learns together.
