I have been asked to prepare a short talk/lesson for our combined Priest/RS meeting this Sunday on 'Teaching the Gospel in the Home' particularly to young children and most of the emphasis being on family home evening.
I'd love to hear some ideas of things that have worked well consistently for any who may be reading this. Please share!!! I am so far from mastering FHE that I know this talk is more for my benefit than anyone who may be listening to it, which is why I'd love input. Remember, particularly teaching to YOUNG CHILDREN. Others will be covering teens and adults.
Please, Please, Please share some ideas!!!
Blessings will surely come your way!!!
Thanks, I love you all!!

my friend does a blog about things like this, go check it out! www.nurturemama.blogspot.com
We use family home evening kits that you make, that include matching games, stories with pictures they can add to a magnet board, or stick puppets. Anything to keep them involved. I also always make sure we have a good desert that they like, bribery always works!
Two things that have worked well for us is to start out with the nursery manual. They are short, have songs, and games, and activities that relate and the other is to have a family home evening mat so that even if they don't really pay attention they get to sit on the mat only during family home evening.
something that has worked well for us is having a theme each week...I've been horrible at this since being pregnant but one week for example I took a class on deep cleaning so I incorporated that into family night...We talked about why it was so important to keep things clean and so on then the next week we focused on that one big task! Right now this is all on the back burner but it worked so well for us! And as soon as I feel good again we'll go back to the "theme" family home evenings! (usually it's something we're lacking in as a family)
If only I had checked this earlier. I would have loved to share some ideas. I hope it went well for you.
BTW, when I tried to get on your blog Net Nanny blocked me because of the Mature/Adult content on your blog. I thought it was pretty funny. Glad to see there's nothing too sketchy on here. :)
