Family
Home Evening is a time to get together
with
your family (usually held on Monday nights) to learn more about the
gospel
(or other topics if your family needs it) and to have fun time
together.
This page can
be used for Family Home Evening, Nursery, and
Primary.
However, the church leaders wants those in Primary to use ONLY CHURCH
APPROVED MATERIALS. These are found at the Gospel
Library Archive
(anything published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints). The others you will need to choose wisely for FHE.
You can search for any of the church resources from the Friend,
Ensign, Liahona/Tambulilit, or the Liahona/Friend (from 1995), and
other curriculum resources-manuals, FHE Resource Book; etc. at the
previous link.

Place a damp paper towel in a sealable plastic bag or bottle.
Place a bean (seed) in the bottom of the bag or bottle. Watch it
grow. Dampen the paper towel every day or so. Measure it
every day (and even more than once a day).
You can then put it into soil if you like. (Some beans/seeds
don't grow so do more than one.) If you plant it in soil, put the
roots facing downward. The bean(s) or seed will need to be out of
the soil (depending when you plant it). Make sure you only dampen
the soil some when you water it. (Too much water will make it
die.) Go to: Bean Germination
and Growth to see the different stages of the bean.

Reverence
Idea:
Do you ... know what reverence is? Younger children will probably
say "No". Do you know what, it is when we talk really quiet (whisper
this part) like if Jesus was here with us right now. (Show a
small picture of Jesus or Jesus with little children). Look at
him, ... What do you think about when you see a picture of
Jesus? Would he want us to talk quietly (maybe even whisper
(whisper this))? I think he would (whisper this). Maybe
sing a song about reverence. How about we take this picture to
church with us and think about Jesus when we are at church. How
can you be reverent (quite) at church? (I can ...) I think Jesus
and Heavenly Father would want us to be quiet there. Let's
remember to talk quietly and
think of him while we are at church. Do you think Jesus and
Heavenly
Father would like that?
