“Family Service Jar” Activity

Family Service Jar” Activity

While playing together as a family is enjoyable, so is serving together! Label a large, clear jar “Family Service Jar,” and fill it with slips of paper listing service activities that your family can do together. Pull one slip of paper out once a week, or as often as you would like, and work together as a family doing what it says. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Wash the family cars

  • Do yard work for a widow

  • Visit a nursing home

  • Have a “kids cook” night

  • Do a chore for another family member so they don’t have to

  • Cook breakfast or lunch at a Ronald McDonald house or homeless shelter

  • Become pen pals with a missionary family

  • Clean the house (while putting on some fun music in the background)

  • Plant an herb garden

  • Fix dinner and deliver it to someone who is sick or just out of the hospital

  • Pick up trash around the church building and grounds

  • Host a game night at your house for a new family at church

  • Write a card to each member of your family telling them what you appreciate and admire about them.
