For a family home evening one time, my husband and I decided to have a Christmas in July. And I thought it would be a great FHE activity for children as well.
The lesson is about giving, and take the time to remember why we celebrate Christmas and remind your children that we need to have Christmas in their hearts all year.
You draw names. You head off to the dollar store and give each child a dollar and change for tax (or how ever much you want to spend). They get to buy a gift for the person who's name they picked. Once you get home, you have the lesson, then let the kids give the gifts to each other.
If anyone else has some good FHE ideas, please share them. It's hard to come up with ideas that are fun for the kids, but where they still learn something too.
