FHE

This is super late and I'm sorry hopefully you can use it next week instead. Enjoy

Kindness

Preparation: collect markers, get sticky tabs, and cut papers into long strips

Opening Song: If the Savior Stood Beside Me

Scripture: Alma 37:6

Lesson: to teach that little random acts of kindness can go a long way

Ask your children how it feels when someone does something nice for them, ask them what it would take to make them smile
Read the Kindness Poem

Kindness looks for ways to help
Kindness lets a friend go first

Kindness tries to keep the peace
Kindness never thinks the worst

Kindness plays with everyone
Kindness gives a loving touch

Kindness speaks with gentle words
Kindness never takes too much

Kindness cares and kindness knows
Kindness shares and kindness shows
Poem by Lana Krumwiede

Activity: Have your children help create "happy fortunes" take the cut up paper and have them write something that would make them smile and decorate the paper. Fold it up and place a tab on it that says read. Go somewhere and place them randomly where people will find them and can read them and as a family watch how happy their kind words makes who reads their "happy fortune"

Treat: go out for ice cream...why not y'all will be out anyway
