by: Sharon smoake@mstar2.net I was concerned about teaching a marriage lesson to Beehives. I took
the idea of playing the game where you have a bunch of stuff on the table and they have to
try to remember the items after you cover them. I then asked them to guess what the lesson
was about. After a few tries they did guess. I then went the route of when they get old
enough to move out of the house and touched a little on marriage. They seemed to like the
lesson and were pretty good. We then planned on some future activities they would like to
do to learn or improve a skill.

I taught the Beehives as well. I did the game where
you put kitchen utensils in a container & they are allowed to look for 30 seconds
& then I covered it & they had a minutes to write everything down. They really
liked that. I also focused on getting themselves spiritually mature & working on their
homemaking skills. I brought my favorite cookies & made a recipe card with the cookie
recipe on it attached to a cookie cutter as a handout! It went very well. I also learned
something. Both of these girls ( I only had 2 out of 6 show today) mom's work & the
girls do most of the cooking. I wondered how those working moms did it!

I taught lesson 4 today to beehives. Boy, was I
nervous of how to present becoming an eternal companion. But I did figure it out. I
concentrated on the skills it took to be a "mom", like cleaning, shopping,
laundry, sewing, prayer, cooking, scripture study, babysitting now. We basically just had
an open discussion about learning to do all these thing now, instead of learning later.
They really enjoyed the fact that they didn't have to be a laurel to learn how to do
laundry for themselves.
I felt that it went very well. I think it made them at least think a little about all they
will need to know for later on in life. . . at college, then in marriage. . . and to start
preparing now instead of later.

I compared us all to the first women on earth, Eve. I
asked the girls what her purpose was for being here. They gave companion for Adam and a
mother. I explained to them that just as she was destined to be a wife and mother so are
we and we need to prepare for that task. I also added that Eve was a help mate for Adam.
When I think of mate I think of match. When I think of match I think of same. Therefore,
we (meaning men and women are equal) therefore, being a wife and mother is no less
significant than being a noble father.
