FHE Idea




Here is a fun and easy Family Home Evening idea. We first did it when Jachin, my oldest, was 2. He then requested the same lesson every Monday for 6 weeks. We have to do this lesson at least twice a year, but every time we add more details. First tell the story of Samuel, the Lamanite. If you have access to the picture it helps. Then choose someone to be Samuel, tie a blanket/cape around their shoulders and have them stand on a "wall" (we chose our couch). Then "Samuel" tells the people of Zarahemla to repent. The "people of Zarahemla" aka the rest of the family throw jumbo marshmallows at Samuel (trying not to hit Samuel, but it doesn't hurt if one goes astray). The treat at the end is, of course, marshmallows.
