Family Home Evening Ideas

This issue contains articles and activities that could be used for family home evening. The following are two examples.

“Come, Follow Me: Teaching the Basics at Home”: This article has teaching and learning ideas for six topics. You might use the idea for January’s youth topic, the Godhead, in a family home evening. You could also review as a family the learning methods described in the article and discuss which ones have been particularly helpful for your family. You might invite family members to use these methods to prepare future family home evening lessons based on the gospel topics in this article.

“A Journey in the Wilderness”: Consider setting up a small obstacle course in your home, perhaps rearranging furniture and tying string across hallways. Blindfold each family member except one who will instruct the rest of the family how to pass through it. Afterward you might discuss how Heavenly Father guided Nephi and his family to the promised land. You could then discuss the ways Heavenly Father has provided for you and your family to help you make it safely home to Him.
