Dear West Richland Stake Member
West Richland Stake Temple & Indexing Week - Sunday Nov 12-18, 2017
Each family is invited to “do something special” to celebrate this coming week.
When children have enjoyable experiences in family history at an early age, they are more likely to continue with it as they grow older, and reap the benefits as they go. Adults and older youth can guide children to success using the Children's page (this page http://www.thefhguide.com/act-children.html ) in The Family History Guide.
Know each child's abilities and limitations as you guide them through the activities and learning process. A rich experience awaits them—and you!
1. About Family History
Overview: Games and activities can work miracles in getting children interested in family history. Young learners love to play, and they will most likely participate in a game or activity with enthusiasm and willingness. The Family history Guide makes it a snap to create relevant, captivating, fun family history moments for family time, cousin get-togethers, mealtime, bedtime, or anytime!
Do you have a smartphone? If so, find just what you need while on the go! Access games online, browse ideas in any of the FHG “Family Activities” section, and be inspired to make family history a part of your children’s (and grandchildren's) everyday lives. Today's children can easily learn how to use devices such as smartphones and tablets. Online games and apps help family history come alive in a fun, engaging way.
