Were you good at reading the scriptures by yoursel

Were you good at reading the scriptures by yourself when you were a teenager?

As I look back, it was once I began reading the scriptures on my own that my testimony really began to grow.

Without that daily nourishment, that time in study, quiet reflection and prayer, we're all susceptible to our faith weakening and being overcome by the cares of the world.

The teen years are an important time of transitioning from being fed the gospel by parents and teachers to being able to study and learn independently.

One way you can help this transition is by giving your teen a chapter from the week's reading along with the corresponding section from the study pages. Ask your teen to study the pages and prepare a short come follow me lesson for the family. OR set a time when you will have a treat and all share your insights into that one chapter together.

What ways have you found to encourage your teen to study the scriptures on their own? I'd love it if you could write your experiences in the comments so we can share ideas!

It's SURPRISE BOX time!

I love this community and I love sharing some of my favorite study items with you!

We have FOUR boxes ready to make someone's day. If you would like to be chosen to receive a box, here is what you need to do (you can do one or both):

1. Tell us what you love most about the kits on THIS post and tag a friend who you think would also like a surprise box. We'll send a box to BOTH of you.

2. We will also choose TWO people who commented on our last post to receive a box. So head back to Friday's post and tell us whatever you want in the comments.

What's in each box:
- Pretty linen binder perfect for the study pages or illustrated stories
- Acrylic frame for the table posters
- Pens
- Fully printed scripture kit for David and Goliath week
- Twistable colored pencils
- All three of our guidebooks (Adult, children's and younger children's)
- Washi tape
- Supplies for a fun David and Goliath activity (shepherd's sling and marshmallows)

We are so grateful to have you all on this journey of fortifying faith together!

* If you live outside of the Continental US and are selected for a surprise box, you will receive a gift card to our website in place of the box.

Next week's chapters have some of my favorite scri

Next week's chapters have some of my favorite scriptures of all time in them. Can you imagine how Joshua felt to have to step into Moses' shoes? The Lord's reassurance to Joshua is one I have turned to again and again - "As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."

Above all these chapters are yet one more reminder that on the days when our challenges seem as tall and impenetrable as the walls of Jericho, when we obey Him with exactness, the Lord can fight all of our battles with us and for us.

- Have you tried the This or That quizzes that go along with a video? We have another one for you this week and I love them because they are simple to prepare but keep your child engaged as they learn or review the story with the video.

- Each week we have new art for you to display in your home to help your family focus on what they're learning. We also give you lots of ideas of ways you can use the art to teach from. Don't miss the questions on the teen and children's table posters - they can open up some beautiful discussions.

- For something more involved try this fun salt dough craft! The ingredients are things you probably already have, just flour, salt and water. You can make the dough and then follow the outline to make a map of the Holy Land. If you want to print out the little flags you'll need toothpicks to stick them in your map. As well as being a fun activity, this is a really tactile way to help your children prepare to understand what it meant that the 12 tribes were scattered and what gathering the tribes looks like today.

A friend of mine is an early-morning seminary teacher and he is always asking for more games in the kits! There's something about teenagers at 6am that needs a touch of variety and fun to wake them up.

If your family or class responds well to games then this is a fun one that will be a great way to review the past few weeks of study.

Head to the "Learning Through Fun" section of the kit where you will find all the trivia questions. Just print them and cut them out. If a player gets the answer right they can take a turn tossing a coin into a small jar or bowl inside a much bigger tub of water. You can make it as hard or easy as you like by how small the jar is and how far away they have to stand. The person with the most coins in the jar wins!

And if you want to keep playing, don't be afraid to repeat the same questions. Repetition (along side fun!) is a great way to learn.

Do you use the games in the kits? I'd love to know which ones have worked well for you!
