Lehi and Nephi File Folders

These file folder scenes are awesome!  I have no idea where the fun artwork came from, but these are the perfect thing for teaching your family the stories of Nephi and Lehi!  Just mount the scenes inside of a file folder, laminate the folders and the figures, then use sticky back Velcro to attach everything.   (NOTE:  Some of the  figures  are repeated, as they are meant to be used on more than one flannel board scene at a time.)

It has been brought to my attention that some of my older lessons have been moved into the Scribd archives, which means that you have to pay a fee to download them.  The fee is nominal ($5 to download as many lessons as you want in 24-hours), but if you'd like me to send one or two of them to you as an email file let me know.  Unfortunately, due to my slow internet connection (30+ minutes to upload each lesson), I would not be able to email more than one or two lessons to you, but I'd be happy to do it if you let me know.

David and Goliath: Overcoming Temptations FHE Lesson

NOTE:  If you're looking for our family blog, go here.  This blog is now 100% FHE lessons and parenting topics.  :)

*****************************************************

I know it's been a while, but I'm here today with another of our favorite family home evening lessons.  I was actually surprised that I hadn't already digitized it, since it is so well-loved at our house!  The modern day goliath activity is an activity your family won't soon forget as they hurl their "stones" (marshmallows) at the the Goliath (who is covered with some ideas of  personal "goliaths" they may be facing).  It opened a lot of discussion fodder at our house and I don't think they'll never look at courage/choosing the right the same way again.  :)

Now I've been excited to get back into the swing of regular posting again, but after re-realizing how much time it takes me to type up individual lessons, at this point I'm going to try to commit to posting something each week.  That something might be a full lesson, a scripture story, a fun activity, or just some cool random visual aids I have floating around.  It is my hope that getting back into the swing of it again will get my enthusiasm and creativity flowing again.  :)

I've had several people contact me about including black and white originals where possible in the lessons.  I do have originals for many of my lessons and I do plan to include them in future lessons, but this one is one which I don't have originals for.

DAVID AND GOLIATH FHE LESSON:  Courage to Overcome Temptations



I had the black and white originals for another Modern-day Goliath activity, that I thought I'd also share.  You could use them in place of the slips of paper in the lesson or you could use them as an activity on their own later in the week.:

Samuel the Lamanite and Isaiah Testify of Jesus Christ's Birth (plus flannel board figures for Christ's birth)

*****************************************************

We spent the weekend out of town and woke up to some weirdness here, so there won't be a full lesson today.  Instead I've uploaded three flannel board stories---Samuel the Lamanite, Isaiah Prophesies of the Savior, and Jesus Christ's Birth.   I hope that this will help you as you teach your families about Christ this Christmastime.

Tithing FHE Lesson

*****************************************************

Just in time for tithing settlement....

I love the one-of-a-kind tithing wheel that goes over what our tithing is used for and I love the sweet story about Emma who isn't sure her small amount of tithing will make a difference.  Your kids will love the ice cream game to help them practice figuring out what 1/10th is and you will love how smart your kids are when the bishop starts asking them about tithing during tithing settlement!

Tithing FHE Lesson

And here's a bonus activity that my kids love when we learn about tithing.  I thought it was a little much to include in the lesson, so I've made it a separate document, so you can print it off if you want.  It's a cute activity from the June 1999 Friend (before they started posting their pictures/activities online).

Jesus Christ in the Americas: Scripture Story with Flannel Board Figures

NOTE:  If you're looking for our family blog, go here.  This blog is now 100% FHE lessons and parenting topics.  :)

*****************************************************

It's been a fun, but very busy weekend here at our house.  Adam's baptism day was on Saturday which brought family from near and far to join in for the occasion.  It was a beautiful day, both weather-wise and spiritual-wise.  Later that night was our ward's fall festival which brought me to baking pies, cooking soup, and baking cornbread most of the afternoon.  Sunday morning dawned early with a happy little 10-year-old very excited about her Halloweeny birthday.  It was another jam-packed day squeezing in our church callings, Emma's birthday festivities, a big family dinner, and answering the doorbell for the few trick-or-treaters that came our way (only about 12-15 or so). 

Our family has started heading home today and I'm already sad about the "quiet" that's creeping back into our house.  Not that it's really quiet or anything, but the silly Grandpa teasing and the ensuing giggles are quieted.  The conversations with Grandma while snuggling on her lap are gone.  They barely left and we're missing them already. 

Because of the crazy weekend and the fact that the kids are off of school today and tomorrow, today I'm posting another scripture story, which are much less time-consuming to pull together than the full lessons are.  This story and visuals are one one that my friend, Jen Johnson (she moved to Dallas a few years ago and I still miss her), compiled.  I love the fun, whimsical visuals that accompany it (I think the visuals might be from Val Chadwick Bagley). 

Hope your autumn and Halloween festivities have been fun
(and only a little spooky)!!!

Miracles: Jesus Heals a Blind Man

Just in case you missed the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: 

This blog is now 100% FHE lessons, scripture stories, and parenting topics!!
No, I haven't lost my blogging bug.  It's just that I felt like my blog was becoming too compartmentalized between my family stories and the FHE lessons (where 80% of my traffic comes from).  It is my hope that through this change that those that are interested in the day-to-day stories of my family  will have a place that is 100% Lara goofiness (or boringness) and for those that are mostly here for the FHE lessons won't have to wade through all the stories to find what lesson you want.  (yes, I've been told I'm a people pleaser before and I don't deny it.) 

Don't forget to switch bookmarks, subscriptions, and links based on which blog (or both) that you want to keep tabs on. 

Since it's a day off school, I've had to settle for posting just a scripture story again.  I hope to be back to a full lesson by next week.  Do stay tuned for more Miracles of Jesus in future weeks....

Parable of the Talents

This isn't a full FHE lesson, but it would be perfect for teaching your family about spiritual gifts and talents. I love the visuals with this!

Building a House of God FHE Lesson

This lesson is one of our most favorite and well-used lessons.  Why it's taken me so long to post, I have no idea.  We use this one probably twice a year, because I feel like it's such a good reminder of all of things we can be doing as individuals to help strengthen our homes and families.

BUILDING A HOUSE OF GOD FHE LESSON

Courageous Queen Esther

Here's another scripture story--one of my favorites--Queen Esther.  I love sharing with my family about the righteous women in the scriptures and the whole idea of her being a queen adds an extra appeal that makes her story all the more exciting to my girls.  :)

I should be back to posting full lessons next week after I've hopefully regained a small sense of routine back into my life.   Have a wonderful Labor Day!

Noah's Ark

Okay, so this isn't really a family home evening lesson.  It's just a scripture story with really cute visuals, but since my brain is currently in chaos mode with the school supply fundraiser coming due this week, it's all I could do.  I really like the cute younger children version of the story and the adorable visuals.   :)   It would be perfect as part of a preschool, primary, or FHE lesson. 

I probably will publish another scripture story (Esther?) next week, instead of a lesson as well.  I hope to be back to normal (maybe) after school starts again.

Honesty FHE Lesson

The topic I pick each week for these lessons is often the topic that our family is needing the most right about that time.  This lesson, in particular, is for that very reason.   I love the object lessons and activities included in here and I love that there are many different levels on which this lesson can be taught.
