Here are some ideas for this week:

Songs:

“Who’s on the Lord’s Side” (Hymns, #260)

“Choose the Right” (Hymns, #239)
“Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, p. 160)
“Dare to Do Right” (Children’s Songbook, p. 158)

Games:

• Let's Make a Deal
• Shutes and Ladders
• Life
• Sorry
• Scavenger Hunts

Maze.  Copy a maze for each person.  Talk about making wrong choices that lead to a “wall”

and right choices to get to the end.

Smiley Face/Frowny Face Game

Give each member of the family a popsicle stick with a smiley and frowny face on it (back to back). When you read examples each family member holds up either the happy face or sad face to reflect if the choice was good or bad. Choose examples specific to your family. For example: I go to Primary, I poke my friend instead of folding my arms, I say thank you, I laugh when another child falls down, I put away my dishes, etc.
