Leslie gave a wonderful lesson on enduring to the end this week for Family Home Evening. She involved all the kids in scripture hunts, and we had two mini-object lessons for the lesson. The first one the kids kind of failed at: a reverence test. (We're going to be working on that this week... and we'll have our treat if we can muster up some more reverence tomorrow night.) The second one was more of a fun activity, and the kids all enjoyed enduring to the end through Nerves of Steel. This is a game where they have to keep their arms up and endure a tickle fest (laughing is allowed, turning away from the tickler is not). Leslie and I thought this was pretty appropriate, since we are supposed to be cheerful as we endure to the end!
A helpful scripture is found in Doctrine in Covenants 14:7 which says, "And if you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God."

I would have a hard time with the tickling...but the kids would probably like it, maybe we'll have to try that :)
Nice FHE. Nerves of steel is only fun it you are the tickler not the ticklee.
