Ask youth to motivate their family to fun activities by drawing these activities out of the sack to do for family home evening. To review activity ideas have youth take turns drawing and reading wordstrips from the sack.
Encourage youth to invent their own ideas and place them on wordstrips to add to their Family Fun activity sack. Review the “Five Ways to Create Memorable Moments” on the label.
TO MAKE Print activity in color or black and white. Slip label into a bag with cut-out wordstrips.
THOUGHT TREAT: Give Me Five! Give each youth/family member 5 olives to place on their fingers. As they invent a family activity to add to your sack they can eat an olive. Record activities on word-strips to place in sack with the others.
