Family Fun Time: Prayer

Family Fun Time

Read “The Soup-Can Phones” (page 4). Elizabeth learns she can talk to Heavenly Father like a friend. Talk about what you can do to feel closer to Heavenly Father when you pray.

Be sure to get an adult’s help with this craft and recipe.

What can you pray about?

  • Is something worrying you?

  • Did anything make you really happy today?

  • Did you do something you’re disappointed about?

  • Did you see something you’re thankful for?

Heavenly Father wants to hear about it. What other things can you pray about?

Soup-Can Phones

You can make your own soup-can phones! How long can you make the string and still hear each other talk? Try different lengths of string.

  1. Wash and dry two empty aluminum cans. Put masking tape around the rim to cover any sharp edges.

  2. Have an adult help you poke a small hole with a hammer and nail through the bottom of the cans.

  3. Cut a long piece of thick string (not yarn). Thread the end through the hole and tie a big knot inside the can. Repeat with the second can.

  4. Have someone hold one can while you walk away until the string is tight.

  5. Now talk into your can while the other person listens in the other can.
