Prayer
Sing "Search, Ponder, and Pray"
I had my scriptures out and told Canden that I loved the scriptures. That they taught me about Jesus, that they are the words of God through the prophets, and that we learn through the scriptures how to return to live with Heavenly Father again and be happy.
We then looked through my scriptures to see all the highlights. He liked looking at the maps/pictures. Then we picked a couple of highlighted versus and I told him that those were parts of the scriptures that I particularly loved and explained what they taught.
We then looked through his scriptures (summarized Bible and Book of Mormon stories) and he could tell me stories that he liked by looking at the pictures.
By default, we learned that we should respect and love our scriptures and not jump up and down on them during family home evening :).
Bear testimony of the scriptures. (You can find ideas in refs below).

At age 3, Canden always gets some sort of treat or refreshment with FHE's though I don't always talk about it in the lesson plan. It helps keep him sitting and listening :)
