FHE: Memorize an Article of Faith

I was given a Starbucks gift card from someone for Christmas (someone who doesn't know I don't drink coffee ;D) and we thought it would be fun to go to a Starbucks drive-through to get cookies for FHE.  On the way there we played a game to help everyone learn the 1st Article of Faith.  We started by singing the 1st Article of Faith song and then we went around the car in a loop, where each person took turns saying the next word.  So, I would say "We", Jay would say, "believe", Hazel would say, "in", The Frog would say, "God", Peach would say, "the", and it would be back to me to say, "Eternal" etc.  If someone made a mistake, then we would all sing the song again and the person to make the mistake would get to start us off that time.  We ended up having enough time to learn the 1st and 2nd Articles of Faith!  I could see this working well to memorize other things like scripture mastery verses or hymns or something.

FHE: Fire Safety

Now that we have moved to a new house, we thought we should talk about our fire safety plan.  We reminded the kids about what they should do if they hear the smoke alarm - roll out of bed, crawl across the floor and feel the door. (not the handle)  If the door is warm, stay where they are, if not, open the door and stay low.  Then we talked about the nearest exits from each room and what to do if a throughway is obstructed and let everyone know where the emergency ladder is upstairs.  We also talked about stop, drop and roll and practiced that.  Then we had the older kids walk our 3-year old through all the things we had talked about.
