Family Home Evening Lesson: Goal Setting


Goal Setting
Opening Song
Opening Prayer
Lesson:

  • Print off pictures of what your family has done during the year or cut out pictures from magazines that represent things done as a family this year -- things good, hard, memorable, accomplishments by different family members
  • Together as a family, make a collage of the pictures and hang it up to remind everyone of all of the wonderful things members of the family did or accomplished this year.
  • Discussion Questions: How did you feel when you accomplished these things throughout the year? What did it take to do these things? Why is it important to set goals?
  • Read and discuss President Hinkley quotes:
    "Try a little harder to be a little better." — Gordon B. Hinckley
    "The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." — Gordon B. Hinckley
    "When I say do your best, I mean your very best. You are capable of so much more." — Gordon B. Hinckley
  • Have each member of the family set some goals for the upcoming year.

Treat: Confetti Cake Mix Cookies

Very easy for kids to make!

1 box confetti cake mix--or white cake mix and sprinkles

2 eggs

1/2C oil

Mix altogether, batter will be stiff. Grease cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 350*. Roll cookie dough into small balls and then flatten with bottom of a cup. Don't add sugar or anything on top as these are already really sweet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn slightly brown. Let cool on sheet for a few minutes before removing to racks.
