My kids favorite FHE is when we get out the scripture dress up costumes and act out scripture stories. We made the dress up clothes out of pillowcases and old sheets, and tie ribbons around their waists and heads: We narrate the story as we go along and they say little parts. They are not into sitting down for a formal lesson, but love to act out stories. And then of course the treat. That's really their favorite part.
Another one they really liked was this: Get a bowl of ice cream. White, sweet , delicious. Then say the ice cream is like their life. Let's say your mom asked you to clean your room and you said you did, but you really didn't. (Pour mustard on the ice cream) Let's say you hit your brother (scoop onions on top) Continue on with poor choices you might be facing at home with other toppings like ketchup, salad dressing etc. Then get out a new bowl of ice cream. This time you shared! (pour chocolate sauce) and you obeyed the first time (sprinkles) and you were kind to your neighbor (strawberries). Talk about how our good choices make our life sweet. Have ice cream sundaes for the treat.
