Happy New Year everyone! I hope all your resolutions are going well so far! Something that I want to be better at this year is having weekly family night lessons, or family home evenings.
For those of you who don’t know what family home evening is, it’s basically a night where your family spends time with each other and they usually include a little uplifting lesson, an activity, and (if you’re lucky) a treat. My church encourages us to have these family nights once a week on Monday nights. Yet, no matter your beliefs, I think having weekly family time where you can enjoy each other’s company and maybe teach your kids some important values is a great thing for any family!
So, if any of you are up for joining me in this resolution, here are 52 family night lessons, one for each week of 2015!

Thanks for sharing the Armor of God lesson, what a great resource this is, I love it!!
Thanks so much for sharing this! One of my New Years resolutions this year was also to be more consistent in having our weekly family night. The biggest challenge I have had in the past is with remembering to plan a lesson. I’m always scrambling to think of something relevant for my family and put it together last minute Monday night so this idea list will be super helpful to meet my goal. Thanks again for putting this together. I see some ideas on here I know my family will love.
I’m with you! It’s hard to plan anything when you’re so short on time. I’m totally using this round-up too! Thanks for stopping by, Julie Anne!
This is great! I love the thought of this!! Thanks!
Wow, this is a truly amazing round up of activities, and life lessons! I am loving your blog! Thank you so much for including my life lessons from Frozen as one of the features! I truly appreciate it! 🙂

You bet! Thanks for the great idea!!
Thanks for linking to my lessons, this is a great page! I’m sharing it on my facebook page so I have it for reference. What a good idea to link one for every single week.
I can’t seem to find a way into your link to find the list of 52 ideas for family home evening..
Hmmm… to have left this comment, you had to be in the blog post. So, in the post there are a bunch of images for the 52 ideas, then there should be a title/link right above each one that you can click on to pull up the actual blog post for that specific idea. You should be able to click on the pictures too and have it pull up the post.
These all look like great ideas! Thanks for sharing!!!
Is there a link to print them all at once?
There’s not! We may create an ebook someday, but we don’t have one yet. 🙂
