So tonight is supposed to be our Movie Night reward. But David and Rachel are not feeling well, so we might have to move it to next week.The deal was we had to read scriptures as a family EVERY day for a month. This included vacations, weekends, no exceptions. And we finally did it!!!
We read in the car on trips, we had to be super dilligent. Our stake is really pushing scripture reading and prayer and family home evening. We were doing it most of the time, so we thought we could step it up a notch. I am so proud of my kids for their reminders and for Winslow who made sure every day of vacation we had scriptures.
So the idea is we have a family movie (at home...we're on a budget remember) pop popcorn, have pizza (totinos! :)) and enjoy together.
A lot has been going on in our lives so daily scripture reading has been a real blessing. We made charts off Sugardoodle.net and Rachel begs me to read her scriptures at night.
We've promised our kids if they read or have read to them the whole book of Mormon we will take them out to a fancy resturaunt.
What ideas do you have on promoting scripture reading?

Our Primary started a challenge for the primary children to read the entire book of mormon this year, and for every book (1st nephi, 2nd nephi, etc) they get a treasure map and get to mark off a dot for every chapter they read. After they read their first one, they get a code they have to figure out, once they do they get a treasure box, and then for every book they finish they get gems to put in their treasure box, in the end they will discover the treasure of reading the book of mormon. Its been so good for our whole family!!
