Don't Grumble, Say Thanks!

Choose one day to track your family's thankfuls and grumbles. Give everyone a few popsicle sticks with their name on them. Every time someone says "thank you," they get to put one of their sticks in the jar. But, anytime someone complains, they have to pull one of their sticks out of the jar. At the end of the day or week, see who has the most sticks. Mom and Dads play, too!

Don’t Forget To Say Thanks!

Think about someone who has helped your family and take time to thank them. Write a note on a thank you card, have the whole family sign it, and send it their way. Think of how surprised that person will be to get a thank you card from your family.

Choose a board game to play with your family. Even if it looks like you might lose, keep playing to see who wins.

Don't Fear, Jesus is Strong!

Grab your Bash Your Fears jar and notepad. If you don’t have one, any jar and paper will do. Have everyone in your family share something that makes them afraid. Write it down. Then pray and read our Big Verse. Remind each other that Jesus will help you though anything. Put those fears in a jar or bowl and let the fears go. Later that paper can remind you of how awesome God is and how He has helped you.
