Simple Lesson to demonstrate how we can be "broken" by small things Bring a piece of rope to class.
Give a piece of rope to a young woman. Ask her to try to break it using any method except cutting. Then illustrate to the class how the rope can be broken by breaking one strand at a time.
(I personally think yarn would be the easiest item to use for this lesson. You can use this object...

Comb your hairHave students comb their hair, with the stipulation that they cannot bend their elbows. This is quite a hilarious sight to see them trying to comb hair with straight arms. Its basically impossible unless the person has very long hair and can bend over very far. Then give the same comb to a neighbor and again with only...

team workHave the individuals pair up and instruct them that they have one minute to arm wrestle as many times as they can. Whoever wins the arm wrestling match gets a piece of candy for every time they win. So they arm wrestle and get their candy (instruct them not to eat it yet). If they are willing to work together and just let...

Enduring togetherTell the story of "The March of the Penguins" Talk about how the penguins had to endure together through the worst conditions in order to live. We as ward members will all go though hard times in our lives but if we can endure together our reward will be great. Like the penguins who's reward is their offspring. I also...

CommunicationHave girls sit back to back, each having her own set of shapes. One girl will set her pieces in a design and describe to the other how to set her pieces up to match the exact way that she has set out her pieces. The girl that is trying to match CAN NOT speak. Once the girls think that they have the pieces matching each...

Team work does make a differenceHave someone tie their string to the pole and see if they can pull the stick off the ground and try to make it stand straight up.
Then have some one else tie their string on and see if it works with two people.
You can keep adding one by one, or just show how when everyone isn't working together it won't get the job...

UnityI used this to teach how unity strengthens us and dis-unity weakens us.
Have a YW take a pencil and break it. Talk about how it was easy to break because it was only one pencil. Then get several pencils (10 or so) and have a YW try to break them. It's very hard. Talk about how, when we stand together we are strong and...

Family UnityPlace a candy at each side of the room. Have two people come up and link arms, back to back. Tell them they have 10 seconds to get their respective candy bar. When you say go they will each begin pulling the other one in the opposite direction, one will either get their candy bar or neither will. The point is that had...

Everyone (except one leader) stands in a circle. The game leader ties the yarn around her finger and says something nice about someone else and throws the yarn. The girl who gets the yarn wraps it around her finger or thumb and repeats...

Together we cannot foldThe best way to describe is just to describe how I used it in Relief Society.
I put a cup to represent the RS president under the board and then stood on it (I represented the demands of serving in Relief Society). Of course I crushed it! Then did the same thing with 4 cups to represent the presidency. Again, CRUSH!...

The Missing Puzzle PieceWe bought inexpensive 24 piece puzzles. We had enough for two people per puzzle. Before we started I took out one piece from each puzzle. The kids had to put the puzzle together as a team. None of them could complete the puzzle as I had the last piece. I had the pieces in a bowl and then asked for one person per team...
