A couple of weeks ago Avery wanted to give the lesson in Family Home Evening. He said he wanted to do a lesson about sharing. So we (mom and Avery) found a idea online at
LDS Inspired that said to talk about Jesus feeding the 5,000 with the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes. (Did you know that there were 5000 MEN and then they didn't even count the women and children, so there were alot more). Avery talked about how Jesus wanted to share the food with everyone to help them be happy and not hungry. It helped that he said a prayer to bless the food before he shared it.
After Avery retold the story to everyone, we played a "ShareFish" game where we caught fish (with a pole, yarn and magnet). Each fish had something on it and we had to decide if it was a good selfLESS fish or a bad selfish fish. They had to throw the bad fish back in the "lake." The kids loved playing it and wanted to play it the rest of the week. We all needed to hear the message because we all have problems with sharing one time or another.
