Probably the best part of this week was the object lesson with a mitten or glove. In fact, I recommend giving each family member a glove to complete the lesson with you. Simply demonstrate and teach the lesson once then hand out a glove to everyone and invite them to try it! I know you are all wondering the details about this activity, see your summary sheet for the week where I give specifics.
Another powerful tool to use with children and even adults is music. I know many of us are no musicians or professional singers but hear me out. When you teach through song it sticks! This is because song appeals to many different types of learners. Therefore, it is effective! Just ask yourself, how many primary lessons or sharing times do you remember from your years of primary as a child? One maybe two of them that were really special right? Now ask yourself, how many songs do you remember from primary as a child? I would bet that number is much higher. For me, it’s nearly the entire Children’s Song Book.
Enter the song flip charts that we make special for your family, one per month! Here is the chart for June, well a sneak peak of it. Use it this week and notice how it sticks in your head and your kids are singing it around the house. Promise!
Before I go I wanted to share one more gem that is in the materials provided to those with an active membership. This pop up tomb action page! My two year old loved this and so did my older kids! Mom win! I love when that happens! The good news is that it also comes in color and black and white so print what you’d like best.

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
