Family dinners

We've started doing a new thing at dinner time. Each person takes a night and prepares a 5 minute devotional. It can be as simple as telling a bible story, or reading a verse, or even sharing something that you are learning about God.
I never know if the kids are actually listening to me, so this way, they get a chance to be the "teacher." So far, everyone has really enjoyed their turns to share, and the nightly table discussions have really been elevated. I sure hope we can keep this up!
Do you do any kind of family devotional? What do you do?

Ha ha, no. We don't have an ipad.....yet. :)
It's just a fat book open at the beginning- so the pages don't stay down unless someone holds them down.
