Well, here's the answer! Yes, it's the all new and (I'm sure improved!) 52 Weeks of Family Night by Tamara Baggett. These "Fast and Easy Lessons for Young Families" (we're all young at heart!) will help you, too, to get back on the track of weekly (or sometimes more realistically-monthly) Family Home Evenings.Each lesson is only a couple of pages long with a song suggestion, scripture reference and applicable stories for subjects ranging from "Ammon and the King" to "Family Garden" to "Family History" to "Rebekah at the Well" to "Stripling Warriors" to "The Widow's mite". A full 52 lessons fill the pages of this little gem of a book!
You can even have surprise lessons by using the numbered illustration cut-out cards in the back of the book. Just cut out the cards, have someone pick one and teach that lesson for the evening! Have even more fun by letting each of your children pick a card and do several lessons at once!
Yes, now your family can take just five or ten minutes to have family home evening-no more excuses! (This is just a minimum time recommendation-for actual learning and interaction the time should be increased with questions and discussion.) Treats Not Included.
(We really have enjoyed using this little book for some fast and easy lessons. It's been a fun way for us to involve everyone since the lessons are easy enough for each person in the family to present a lesson on their own and they plan that FHE. Our ratio of weeks with family home evenings to weeks without family home evening have become the inverse of each other thanks to this tiny book. Remember, this book is to be a supplement-not a replacement for a full fledged family home evening. Use as directed by parental instruction and prayer.)
