Home Evening Games

Home evening night isn’t complete without a game or two. Will you know if there’s a ghost jumping behind you? Will a stinger squeeze your hand? This is the perfect opportunity to get to know the other youth in your company and become united. Get out of your comfort zone, make new friends, and have fun physically and socially. You’ll also have the opportunity to test your gospel application skills as you figure out what gospel principles can be learned from each game.

“Everyone needs good and true friends. They will be a great strength and blessing to you. They will influence how you think and act, and even help determine the person you will become. They will help you be a better person and will make it easier for you to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. Choose friends who share your values so you can strengthen and encourage each other in living high standards.

“To have good friends, be a good friend. Show genuine interest in others; smile and let them know you care about them. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, and refrain from judging and criticizing those around you. Do not participate in any form of bullying. Make a special effort to be a friend to those who are shy or lonely, have special needs, or do not feel included.”

Friends, For the Strength of Youth, 2011, 16-17
