Family Home Evening Ideas

“Start Moving,” page 42: As part of the lesson, consider playing the game Simon Says to illustrate waiting for someone to tell you to move. (To play the game, one person says, “Simon says …” and then tells the others to do a certain action, like raising a hand. This person continues a few times in this manner and then tries to get the others to do an action when he or she did not first say, “Simon says.” For example: “Simon says raise your hand. Simon says clap your hands. Stomp your foot.”) Bear your testimony of a time you have been guided as you moved forward.
