This awesome Liahona is from the 2005 Primary Partners Sharing Time written by Mary H. Ross, Illustrated by Jennette Guymon-King. It is copyrighted so we didn't scan it in to share- but we thought it was so cool that maybe you could make your own! So this how it works (Quoted from the book), "Help children imagine having the Liahona today. Tell them, "If each of our families could have a Liahona today to guide us, how would we keep it going to get the help we need?" Have children take turns drawing a card #1-10 and reading the action on the card. Then dial the Liahona to see if that action makes us worthy of inspiration. If the correlating number on the dial says "yes," that means we would be worthy to receive inspiration. If there is a "no," this means the Liahona would not work as well because our choice was not a righteous choice." So for singing time choose a child to pick a card. On the card have a story about choosing the right or a story about not choosing the right. The card number correlates with the number on the Liahona and the answer is on the opposite side (refer to pictures above). Here are some story examples for you: -Mary was very sleepy and tired. It was late so she hurried and jumped into bed. Is that choosing the right? -When Joyce was sitting with her family at Sacrament meeting, she decided-I will sit reverently and try hard to listen to the talks. Is that choosing the right? -Kenneth wanted to play with Bill's puppet. He decided to sneak the puppet while Bill was not home. Is that choosing the right? -Jenny had some earned money. She wanted to buy a special toy. She discovered that if she paid her tithing, she would not have enough money to buy it. She decided to pay her tithing first and wait until she earned more money. Did she choose the right? After each card is picked and checked by the Liahona, review Choose the Right!!!

Here's a simple family home evening lesson on the priesthood that is easy for the kids to understand.
This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support! See the full disclosure. I remember as a youth having my eyes set towards the temple. This is something that no matter what our age is an important thing to have on our mind. The temple is a sacred holy place, were we can do essential work for ourselves as well as for the dead. It is a place of instruction and a place of peace. For our children it is important that they do have the desire to attend the temple, to take out their own endowments and make marriage covenants. For those who have already made those covenants for themselves. It is important to keep that desire to attend frequently to feel the peace, receive instruction, remember our covenants and to provide work for those who can not do it for themselves. I've compiled a list of lessons that would be great for Family Home Evenings, to bring the focus to the that of attending or working towards attending the sacred places of the Lord.

We have been pretty bad at doing Family Home Evening the past few months because we haven't been able to figure out the balance between us doing something and including Aidan. In Relief Society the other week, we were asked to set some goals to improve our spirituality and other areas of life and I had this brilliant idea to come up with FHE ideas and lessons that we could include Aidan in. I just put a basic header with the topic of each lesson. We'll talk about what we can related to the subject and then do the activity.
