Family Scripture Reading	Date: 10/12/2007
*From: Mom of Five*

We use the church's scripture readers some days. Most of the time we read straight from the scriptures. Lately we use Preach My Gospel. We tell every child a scripture reference to find before we begin reading. They read it out loud, when the time comes. We read and talk about the other text also. Our youngest two can't read yet, so they open a book of scripture and pretend like they are reading. They repeat the phrase, after we say it. The little ones like being able to take part. It is most important to be flexible. What works today, may not work next month. Change it to suit the children. Add a song, if they are sleepy. Let discussion help them discover and understand the gospel.

Apostles & Prophets	Date: 11/03/2007
*From: Anonymous*

I remember my dad used to pay a quarter for every apostle we could name, while we sat in the tabernacle waiting for conference. (Only on Saturday, of course!) Now while we are at home between conference sessions our children have contests to see who can match the latter-day apostles and prophets fastest from your ldsgreats main page. This is also fun as a Family Night Game! My children and husband usually have a much faster time than me - so I stay humble ;)

Home and Family	Date: 11/03/2007
*From: J.*

Sister Beck's talk rang true for me. I realized that I need to refocus my efforts on my family and home. Then Elder Oaks' talk gave me the feeling that I need to work on getting back to a traditional family mealtime.

Microscope for Object Lesson	Date: 03/31/2008
*From: Teacher*

I used a microscope as an object lesson about recognizing the evidence of God's kindness in our lives. That went with the talk from Elder Eyring, October 2007. You could also use a microscope to talk about how we should examine our own lives to see how they are affecting others.

Disconnect - Object Lesson	Date: 03/31/2008
*From: Teacher*

I used a cd/radio player to talk about how "Sometimes, in our earthly impatience, we may lose sight of the Lord�s precious promises and disconnect our obedience from the fulfillment of these promises." from Spencer J. Condie's last conference talk, with the key word being "disconnect". Just have an uplifting song playing and then disconnect either from the outlet or the cord from the cd player. This also shows that when we distance ourselves from the power and strength that God offers us we walk away from the promised blessings also.
