Tell your family that you are thinking of a place.  This place is one of the most important places here on earth. See if your family can guess this place. If they can't, continue with giving the clues.  Such as: we make sacred promise in this place.  Families are sealed together forever in this place, Work for the dead is done in this place, etc. Eventually, they hopefully will guess the temple.  Express how important receiving temple ordinances is.

  

Show your family the 1st printable the path to the temple.  Tell them that as a family you are going to discuss the steps and the things we can do now to be worthy to attend the temple.  Show your family the footsteps and have a family member choose one.  Put the foot step on the path and talk about that footstep and how it can prepare you for the temple.  Continue until all footsteps are on the straight path.  Explain that if we consistently do these things we will be ready and worthy to go the temple when the time comes.
