I haven’t shared a FHE on my blog for a while and thought I would share this week’s. I need to share the “Clues in Scripture Reading” that we did a while ago. The kids loved it, and keep talking about it.
Anyway, this one is an oldie but goodie. I needed to talk about a few of our chores and details to some of the jobs that weren’t getting done, (socks not being unscrunched when laundry is brought down and sorted, baseboards being neglected….). Sooo I pulled this lesson out.
I had one of the kids choose a few of the scriptures from the lesson list to share with the family. I had another one practice and give the story of the Little Red Hen…
I talked about work and how proud I am of what hard workers they are. Then I went on to discuss little details of their chores. I talked of how work makes us happy. I compared Cinderella with her step sisters, and even talked of those who are unemployed and don’t have work. Work truly is a blessing!
One of the big kids hid all of the notes for the scavenger hunt. The last note was found in the van where we all drove for a treat.
The reminder for the fridge was one of my favorite work quotes that I put on a poster with a little red hen graphic.
Love that quote and soooo love family home evening. It’s such a perfect teaching time! I can already tell a difference since we had the lesson.

I love this idea! We just started all our garden work but have one "farm animal" who does NOT like working outdoors. I'm always reminded that I should teach her once more the story of the little red hen :) Thank you for our next FHE lesson!
Oh Shauna, if you only knew how many of your lessons have helped my family. Thank you!
Thank you I love this lesson. I read your post about complaining to my hubs the other day and we decided to implement it in our home, wow it has made a huge difference. I think I will use the FHE lesson on Monday, thanks for sharing!!
