Our Mom to Mom group met last Friday, October 23, in the parlor. Many moms came and enjoyed this much needed refreshing time together! This month's discussion topic was How Your Child Learns Through Games. It was a great time of fellowship and encouragement.
As you can see we have some great bakers in our group!
We played a game called "Two Truths and a Lie," where we told two things that were true, and one that wasn't. Then the others guessed which one was the lie. It was fun just to find out a little more about each other!
We learned, in Psalm 91, that when we dwell and abide in Him, and call to Him, He will deliver, answer, and rescue us! Following our devotion time we prayed for each other.
Then our guest speaker, Lorraine, the mother of three girls, who is also a teacher, spoke to us about how we can teach our children through games.
Believe it or not, all of these games belong to her! She gave some great tips on how to use card games, board games, and games like Twister, to teach shapes, colors, numbers, counting. But most importantly, we learned that when you play as a family, you're building bonds together. The kids learn how to take turns, how to win, and how to lose.
We'll be in the Parlor next month, November 20. Hope you can come as well, and learn about "Taking Care of the Mommy in Me."
