a while back I came up with an idea that has worked well for us for family home evenings. I was trying to figure out how to do conference talks as lessons in a meaningful way. I bought a note book for each person in the family even those who cant read or write and put their names on them then we watch a conference talk i have picked before hand while everyone takes notes in their notebook. then we take turns reading our notes and talking about the talks. it really works well. i keep the notebooks in a secure location so they are always available on family nights. the church has a website that is just the latest conference talks so I have it bookmarked and it is easy to pull up with very little prep.

    One thing I did for a FHE to help keep my little ones entertained during the lesson was to build a fort in the livingroom, much like we did growing up, complete with all the couch cushions and bed sheets, then we all got in it and had our lesson on King Benjamin and how the families pitched thier "tents" facing him and listened intently...(no pun intented)
