“Family Night Fun,” Friend, June 2019
Family Night Fun
Here are some ideas you could use for home evening!
Song: “Love One Another” (Hymns, no. 308)
Scripture: John 13:34–35
Activity
-
Pick a story in the magazine about being kind (see pages 8, 14, 36, or 38). Ask someone to read it out loud.
-
Cut out paper hearts in different colors and sizes.
-
Write or draw on the hearts things you love about each other or things you can do to show kindness in your family.
-
Put the hearts around your house to remind you to show love this week. (See *CFM, page 88.)
Strawberry Hearts
-
Trim the tops off large strawberries and cut them in half, top to bottom.
-
Place the strawberries cut-side down and trim each strawberry into a heart shape.
-
Put the strawberries with other fruit on wooden skewers to make heart kebabs.
More Ideas
-
Read “Jesus Taught about the Sacrament” (page FJ4) and do the activity on page 7. What can your family do to make the sacrament special? (See *CFM, page 91.)
-
Celebrate Father’s Day with a craft (page 10) and action rhyme (page FJ1). If Father’s Day is hard for your family, look for “Steven’s First Future Father’s Day” from the June 2015 Friend.
-
Read Luke 24:13–32. Then read “A New Chapter” (page 4). How did Jesus “abide with” the girl in the story? How does He abide with you every day? (See *CFM, page 99.)
