Opening Song: Joseph Smith's First Vision

Ask a family member to give an opening prayer

Ask an adult family member to read JSH 1:1-20. Ask the following questions and try to provide the answer yourself first:

    • Why did Joseph Smith go to the Grove?
    • Who did he see?
    • What answer did he receive?

Read to your family one of the scripture references on prayer from above. Share a story of how Heavenly Father has answered one of your prayers and ask an older family member to share a story themselves.

Divide the family into two teams and complete the quiz. Which ever team finishes the quiz fastest with the most correct answers is the winner. The losing team will be in charge of serving the refreshments.
