Temple Work and Family History
December’s Visiting Teaching message is on temple work and family history. I thought this candy filled tree, with leaves telling simple ways to get started in family history would be a fun handout this month. You will need some candy (I used kisses and hugs), a brown paper bag, a yellow ribbon or string, paper leaves (Click Here for Printout,) and some glue.
- Fill the bag with a handful of candy.
- Twist over the candy in the middle of the bag.
- Tear one branch
- Twist it
- Continue the same way until you have about four or five branches
- Cut leaves and glue them on.
- Tie a yellow ribbon loosely around the trunk.
And there you have it a Family Histotree for your VT Handout. There are also some cute family trees in the Friend Magazine too. Here are two:
My Family Tree October 2009 – Real cute and includes a poem.
My Family Tree March 1994 (No printout available on church website)
I really love this project!! I am Activity Days leader and we are putting together FHE packets tonight – this is a perfect activity for the lesson on Family History!! When I was looking last week there was a comment left by someone asking for the blank leaves download, and you commented with a new link, but now I can’t find it or any comments. Would it be possible to get that blank leaves file? Thanks so much!!
Sorry to bother! I found it! It was on another post Chapter 40: Family History and Temple Work from October 23, 2011. Thanks so much!!
