So this week is a lot of parables.
Idea 1: Three parables talk about things that are lost (Luke 15). One is a sheep that is lost and the shepherd leaves the 99 to find the one. Another is the widow who lost a coin and searched the whole house and the last is the prodigal son who is metaphorically lost (I don't know if I can get my son to grasp this last one yet). We are going to play hide and seek with finding the person (the lost sheep). And my son loves treasure, so it will be really easy to play losing the coin and searching the whole house for it. The second will be easier to incorporate the story. The first one I'll probably have to say that we're all sheep and then say one wanders off and gets lost. (Then say to my son, "Go hide and pretend to be lost so we have to come find you.) Then I can say that we miss the one and go looking for our lost sheep.
Idea 2: In Luke 17:11-19 it talks about the 10 lepers who were healed and only one said thank you. The suggestion mentions singing "Count Your Blessings" so we'll incorporate that in with our lullabies for the week, and work on saying thank you for things.
Idea 3: watch the following video about Lazarus. (also found on lds.org called "Lazarus is Raised from the Dead"
Other videos for the week: Gospel Library App, Children, New Testament Stories, Chapter 36 (kinda just an intro for the three parables so I'm probably skipping it.), The First Parable, The Second Parable, The Third Parable, 37 and 43.
