Family Coat of Arms Idea:
(From Kearns Utah Stake):
Help children create a "coat of arms"
for their family. Talk about "putting on the whole armor of God"
and being on the
Lord's side.
Start with a paper
with a
shield on it, then choose the values they want in
their family lines by coloring and cutting out the symbols. Have
markers,
crayons, and scissors, and papers with the symbols printed on them.
There were
explanations of what character traits were represented by different
colors and different symbols used (such as certain plants and animals)
on shields.
Below are some
websites that might
be helpful if
you decide
to use this idea. It could be used in FHE, Family Fairs,
and
Primary. Teens might enjoy it also.
