“Family Fun Time: Scripture Study,” Friend, Jan. 2014, 6
Family Fun Time
You can use these ideas to have fun learning with your family!
Make a Plan!
Pull out the scripture chart and references on pages 24–26. Put them where everyone can see them.
Decide what time your family will read the scriptures each day.
“Liken” Charades
Read “Just Like the Scriptures!” on pages 4–5. Now practice likening the scriptures to yourself!
Split into two groups. Group 1 acts out a scripture story while Group 2 guesses which story it is. Then Group 2 acts out a modern-day example of a story for Group 1 to guess.
Use these scripture stories, or choose your own!
