Activity #1: Families Can Be Together
(Family Tree Pedigree Chart)
OBJECTIVE: Prepare a pedigree chart with your name and your parents’ and grandparents’ names. Prepare a family group record for your family.

3. Print and cut out pictures and glue them in the circles above the matching names on the chart.
Activity #2: Fruits of the Temple
(Family Tree Decorations – see above)
OBJECTIVE: Discuss how performing temple work blesses families.
1. Print, color, and cut out the Fruits of the Temple Family Tree Decorations (shown above on the Family Tree Pedigree Chart).
2. Post the fruit on your family tree, showing how performing temple work blesses families.
3. Talk about each as you place them on the tree.
THOUGHT TREAT: Apple-a-Day Family Names. Give girls a challenge to obtain one family name a day to have temple work done. To motivate this have an apple with several toothpicks inserted with names written on slips of paper at the top of toothpick (for which temple work has been done). They can name someone in their family or someone they know who has had their work done. Thought: Tell girls that for every person they can find who needs temple work done, ancestors or other, and follow through to get that temple work done, YOU and THEY will have their lives blessed forever. Plus, you will be the “apple of their eye” or an “app”ealing friend forever.
