WHAT IS Family Home Evening?

WHAT IS FAMILY HOME EVENING??

Members of my church, The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, have set aside one night a week to be devoted to spending time together as a family. Typically this is Monday night. This means that Monday nights are reserved for Family Time. As a family we spend time together having lessons, playing games, or doing activities. Each Family Home Evening usually starts and ends with a prayer. Many families sing a song, we are not the best singers but even we try to include a song some of the time. And the kids' favorite part of Family Night is a treat after the closing prayer.

This is a great time to interact as a family and actually talk to each other without TV, phones, gaming systems, music devices or any other technology toys interupting.

Soccer ball of favorites




We took a small soccer ball purchased at a local store for under a dollar. On each white space we wrote various things, see the list below. During FHE we gently throw the ball from person to person. As a person catches the ball they answer the question on the white space their right thumb lands on. After answering they then throw the ball to someone else.

You may use my list or think of your own questions that work for your group. Most questions begin with "What is your..." so I didn't write it in because there wasn't room on the ball.
