You can find some fun ideas I made four years ago here.
New Bonus Activities!!!
This week I have a few more fun ideas to keep the theme of being a becoming like the people of Enoch that were of "one heart & one mind." In a fun video we watch for our Come Follow Me family study, the host used the phrase "Trying for Zion." I thought that was a fun way to think about it and move us towards action! As I thought about that phrase the thought that kept coming to me was how can we make our home a little more like Zion or the City of Enoch? The answer I came up with is service and showing others that that we care. Fitting in with this theme I love how the Come Follow Me handout asks the children to write a way they can show love. I included a few fun additional ways to record acts or service this week. Perfect for leading up to Valentine's Day.
The first couple have big boxes so you can write or draw a picture of something you did to show kindness or love. Another option is to color in a balloon every time you serve (there is room to draw or write as well.)
The last two activities go with the second idea in the manual under the topic "God wants us to be “of one heart and one mind.” It suggests to "make a paper heart and cut it into pieces, enough for each child (or family member) to have one. Let them write their name on their piece and work together to put the heart together. As they do, you might talk about things you love about each child." This is such a fun and special activity-I included a heart that you can use. Another option to use the heart for is an activity I did with the Primary activity day girls years ago. The idea is to have each person write their name in the middle of the heart. Then tape the paper to the back of your shirt. Go around the room and write something you like/love about that person. Make sure you write on everyone's paper. It is so sweet. This would work for families or a primary class. Last are some little cards that say I love you because...Color and finish the sentence. How cute would this be to leave around the house for different family members.
I hope you have a wonderful week of finding ways to show kindness and love and make your home a little more like Heaven on Earth.
