Articles of Faith

Today I found a really cool place to go and get good idea's for activity days. Its called Emma's Place. Its a LDS blog site I didn't know about until I found it today. Anyway she had a couple of really good idea's. I have been looking for a fun way to help the girls learn their articles of faith and she had a really good one. Its called magnet articles of faith. First of all you print up all the articles of faith and make sure they are big enough that you can cut the individual words apart. Then you laminate them and cut them apart. Make sure you space the words far enough apart other wise you have a hard time cutting them. Then you put magnets on the back of each word. Once all of this is done and trust me its a lot of work. You find a nice piece of metal that you can cover with fabric to make it look pretty. Then you just have them take the words that are all mixed up and put them in the right order to spell out the article of faith. Doesn't that sound like fun for the girls anyway? I think the girls will get a kick out of it. I was thinking about having them break up into a couple of teams and try to win a prize. Of course all the girls will get something but the winners will get a little something extra. I was thinking about doing this for the next activity. I will let you know how it turns out.

Of course you know you could always just do this at home for a family home evening activity also. Its a good way to help your own kids learn their articles of faith. The kids would love it. I think I will try it out on my kids first and see how it goes. Again I will let you know how it turns out.

Well other than that I spent the whole day just hanging out and working on a couple of projects I have going on. Not that I got any of them finished except the Articles of Faith game. But what do you expect to happen when my husband is home all day. Sometimes he's just as much of a handful as the kids are. But I love him anyway and I don't get to see him that much so anytime I get with him is fine with me. Even if I don't get to finish my projects. I love you babe.

Well I guess that's all for today. Blog at you later.
