Family Home Evening - The Creation

I had a primary lesson to teach on the Creation this month and came up with the idea to do a visual of each step. Unfortunately both of my kids were sick and unable to attend church with me that Sunday - so I saved it and used it for Family Home Evening. This is how it went (and let me brag for a minute that the kids LOVED IT!) hehe -

The beginning - darkness

Day One - "Let there be light" (from the darkness came light)

Day Two - the firmament was created, then He separated the waters from the firmament to the earth
(at the time a big ball of water)

Day Three - The land was brought up from the seas and beautified with plants and trees and flowers of all kinds

Day Four - The Sun and Moon and Stars were created

Day Five - The creatures of the sea and air were created

Day 6 - All other creatures of life were created, the bugs, the cows, the dogs, the cats, and most importantly Adam and Eve!!

Day 7 - I had the kids sit down quietly, fold their arms, close their eyes and take a nice, deep relaxing breath "And on the seventh day, He rested".

It was a great primary lesson but we had such a good time doing it for FHE. The kids loved adding the correct pieces to the display, and now Kaleb can identify EXACTLY what happens on each day of the creation! Dang that kid is a sponge!
