Home Evening

A Mom's Small Teaching Moments
How to hold a Home Evening
- Start and end with prayer. This invites the Holy Spirit, increases feelings of love, and teaches young children how to pray.
- Learn from the scriptures and the words of modern prophets to help each other live the gospel.
- Sing songs and hymns to create an atmosphere of love, peace, and joy.
- Make it fun by playing games, acting out scripture stories, and making treats. Keep the atmosphere light and loving.
- Be consistent. Find what day and time works best for your family or home evening group and make it a priority.
- Add variety. For example, help a neighbor in need, hold a lesson at the park, or go for a walk.
