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 ...

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...

Jesus is the Son of God (Making a Puzzle)

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 01/20/2011 - 6:16pm
Cut a picture into 20 pieces to create a puzzle. (The picture caan be any picture of Christ, but a picture of his birth would work great.) Give all the kids in your class an even number of puzzle pieces. Ask each child to tell the class something they know about Christ’s birth. Once they share one thing, have them put a puzzle piece up on the board. Keep going until they finish the pieces, or until they can’t think of anything else. If they d...

Provide a feather for all those in the lesson. Have them tickle each others ear with the feather. The first time they are able to respond by rubbing or scratching their ear. The second time have them restrain or show restraint and with hold from ppushing the feather away or rubbing their ear. Fasting helps us to show restraint or to strengthen our control over circumstances and temptation. ...

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...
