Last week we were reading our usual morning devotional story from the Friend magazine, and it had a story about a family who did something called 'Sunday Stations'. They placed different Sunday activities at different parts of the house, such as reading the scriptures, emailing/calling family and friends, etc. We read it and thought it was a great idea!
So, we set up our own Sunday Stations. At the table, I printed off copies of scriptures with pictures for the kids to color (they're supposed to be memorizing them...).
At the couch, they got to read children's scripture stories with Dad. I think they did Old Testament stories, because Josh told me afterward that he read Daniel and the Lion's Den.
The last station they got to email family and friends. I asked them who they wanted to send a message to, then they dictated their message to me while I typed. I laughed so hard at some of their messages! For example, Claire wanted to write to Grandma and Papa...and what did she write in her message? "Dear Grandma and Papa. I want my pink bear! Because I love it and it's pretty! the end." She cracks me up!
The kids really enjoyed it! As a matter of fact, after we were done, Josh says to me, "Mom, I think we should have Sunday Stations every day! Only it could be Monday stations and Tuesday stations...and have it all week! But instead of scriptures, we could play Uno and play computer games and watch movies!" Hm. At least he enjoyed it! :)
