FHE Monday: Nursery Lesson #11

This lesson is short and sweet. Wiggly boys like short and sweet!

Opening Song: A Happy Family (I love mommy, she loves me…)

Lesson: Show a picture of a happy family (or a family photo of your own). Is the family happy, or sad? Heavenly Father gave us families so we could be happy.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:32… “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
(We emphasized the "be ye kind one to another" part, since that was pretty much all GB would sit through.)

We can show our family that we love them by being kind and helpful.

Activity: Go around each member of the family, and suggest ways we can help them. Act the ideas out as you say them. “How can we help mommy? We can give hugs! We help clean up!” etc.

Conclusion: Practice saying “I love my family!” Could also sing A Happy Family again.
 End with brief testimonies.

Closing Song: Families Can Be Together Forever

 We were a little bad at the roleplaying activity--for some reason being put on the spot to think of ways GB could help Daddy was difficult! Oops... A good idea might be to think of at least one or two things per person, just in case.

These kinds of lessons seem overly simple and short, but I love them because it brings me back to the basic essentials of the Gospel-- we have a family, and we love them! Sometimes those simple messages are what we need the most to fuel our spiritual flame.
