Latter-day prophets

On Monday we had a family home evening lesson on our latter-day prophets. We talked about President Hinckley passing away last week and that President Monson was now the new prophet. I printed out a picture of President Monson and then I got out the pictures of the other latter-day prophets and had Kitty hang them on the wall out of order (she was the lesson helper on Monday). Then we had the kids take turns trying to match the names with the correct pictures (Blondie was even able to identify a couple of them without help). We also tried to tell the kids a little bit about each one. Then we put the pictures in order and sang the Latter-day Prophets song from the Children's Songbook a couple of times. The kids really enjoyed doing this and expressed interest in being able to identify the prophets so I think we will have future family home evenings on this topic.
