Jesus Christ is our cornerstone

Submitted by famliequien on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 12:01pm
I am using Play Dough to demonstrate the importance of a cornerstone. Since it is not a major part of my lesson, I will already have my two walls built and put together. Then, I will ask them which of all the "stones" is the most important stone. ...

Testimony Building, Fourth Article of Faith, Solid Foundation

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 06/26/2011 - 2:37pm
I wanted to teach the children about the 4th article of faith and how these principles and ordinances can help us build and strengthen our personal testimony. To do this I needed to build a small table. I was able to cut a piece of particle board into a 6 inch by 4 inch rectangle. Then I found some wooden doweling and cut four, four inch lengths. I then drilled an appropriate size hole that the doweling would squeeze into, and made the depth ...

Rationalization and Excuses Leave You Empty

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sun, 03/13/2011 - 4:29pm
I've posted both the full lesson and the object lesson part here in case Seminary Mom's (rather long) lesson doesn't fit with the message you're trying to get across in your lesson: The Object Lesson I brought out a muffin tray with muffin liners, but no actual muffins inside the liners. I explained I'd planned on baking muffins for them during class, but had forgotten the necessary eggs for the batter. Oh, well. Sorry. Was my excuse good enough...

Stretch a little Higher, Be a little better, Enlarge thy tent

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sun, 03/13/2011 - 4:02pm
As a prelude to the lesson, I began by calling a student volunteer to the front of the room. As it happened, it turned out to be the tallest student in the class. I asked him to show how high he could reach. He went over to the wall and rested his verrry long arm at a very tall spot on the wall. Then when it appeared he had reached as high as he could, I asked him to reach a little higher. Invariably, even though the student thought he was reachi...

Are you Paying Attention?

Submitted by Jenny Smith on Sun, 03/13/2011 - 1:07pm
Display a picture of a bird and a quarter. Then tell the following story: Two men were walking down a busy city street. The one asked the other, "Listen to that bird." "I don't hear a bird," the other replied. "No, you must listen harder." The second individual listened very carefully and after a few seconds, he finally heard the bird amongst the hustle of the street. The first individual asked, "Do you think THEY hear the bird?" The second man ...

Gossip

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 01/30/2011 - 3:15am
I saw a similar object lesson to the toothpaste. The teacher gave the students a small pillow filled with feathers. The teacher tore it open and told him scatter the feathers. After he had done that, he then told him to go and pick up all the feathers and not come back until he had them all. Of course that was impossible. Gossip is like scattering the feathers, hurtful words or shared confidences cannot be taken back just like you can't find...

The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 11/13/2010 - 12:22pm
Build a small table out of a piece of wood approximately 8 inches by 4 inches. Drill four holes in each corner, and insert wooden dowels cut about 3 inches long as legs for the table. Be sure that the holes are drilled straight so that the legs are straight and the object lesson will work properly. Glue three of the legs into the table. Leave the fourth leg unglued, and use a magic marker to put a small mark on this leg so that you will know whic...

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 09/07/2010 - 3:39pm
You put an orange in a bucket of water with the peel on and it will. This is related to us having on the armour of God. When you peel the orange, it sinks in the water. We sink when we don't have on the Armour of God. ...
