Family Home Evening Ideas

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

“How to Build Unity”: President Eyring reminds us that one way we can create unity is by speaking well of one another. You could practice speaking kindly by role-playing situations in which family members are asked to give their opinion about others. You can use questions like “How is your brother doing?” or “How do you like your Sunday School teacher?” Talk about ways you can speak more kindly of one another and improve family unity. You might close your family home evening by singing “Let Us Oft Speak Kind Words” (Hymns, no. 232).

“A True Pearl”: Consider creating a family talent inventory. You can list talents that family members have developed or would like to develop. You might also brainstorm ideas for improving and using those talents. You could ask, “Who in our family, ward, or neighborhood could benefit from our family’s talents?” Consider making plans to develop and use your talents to serve Heavenly Father as Jetta did in the story.
