Interesting M&M’s

Hymn – # 241 Count your Blessings

Opening Prayer

Activity

Explain very simply how interest works. Give each member of the family a set amount of m&m’s. Explain to them that they can eat them at any time, but that if they wait until the end of FHE their M&M’s will gain interest. At the end of FHE double the amount of M&M’s that each person has left! Explain how being patient and investing pays off. (You do not have to use M&M’s, any treat would work)

(You can adjust the wait period, such as they must wait until next week for a larger return)
