Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
The purpose is to show that some people do not take the blessings of Christ’s atonement, but he still suffered for their sins. Why not take those blessings happily, instead of denying them. You take the ding-dongs or whatever you have and ask one person if they want that object. They will say “yes” or “no”. No matter the answer the young man who is doing the push-ups does 5…

I am comparing marriage to donuts and cinnamon rolls. A donut is like a temporal marriage, sweet and delicious but built around a big hole- till death do we part. The cinnamon roll is also sweet but has no hole. I also have a hand out of a donut for each girl with a note attached saying- “donut” settle- marry the right person in the right place at the right…

They will answer that you need to eat it for it to be…

Many years ago, I did this object lesson for our YW. I put a purse in the room that the girls knew belonged to one of the YW. This “designated” YW left the room. After she left, I opened it up and asked them who wanted what. If the girls didn’t speak up for it, I would just give it out. “Here, you can have this gum.” “Do you want…

Pretend like the glass of water is the world. Have the class give examples of sin in the world (smoking, swearing, not telling the truth, etc.) As they are giving examples, shake pepper into the glass of water. Talk about the advice given by prophets to be in the world but not of the world. Take your index finger and put it in the water. Let the class see that…

Before starting class I just asked if anyone needed lotion as I stood with the bottle at the front of the class. As they said I do I walked around and gave all who needed a squirt. Then as I put the lotion away I asked who could tell me as we find principles in the scripture block (Section 93 is where I was) what we are going to try…

Before class starts build a fortress out of lego’s and one out of wooden blocks. While talking about making choices now about what you will do when you’re tempted you can use the fortress of wood blocks as someone who didn’t decide before hand what to do when a temptation came and the lego fortress as someone who decided what to do before they were tempted. Have a child toss…

Have 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 other have them look…

Tape the contrasting label directly over the canned food label. Make sure no part of the true contents are showing. I used a Green bean label and covered over a can of pears. I asked the children if they liked green beans. Most said they did not, I elaborated on this issue and afterward I proceeded to open the “Green Beans” what they found on the inside of the can…

After starting the lesson, I asked for a volunteer to read a passage from the lesson. I continued with the lesson. About half way through the lesson I told the same vonlunteer that I need her to separate and put a copy of the lesson handout in a sheet protector. I told her that I would need this done so that we could make sure the girls would have their…

I used this by showing the class how the silver looked when it was tarnished. Then as I was talking about how the church was restored, I was also cleaning the spoon with the silver cleaner. It probably took about 3 minutes. Then I washed off the cleaner in the bowl of water. After that I dried it off and let the class look at how it was restored to…

Explain that the feather represents ourselves and place it on the kitchen scale. Add a pile of rocks on top of the feather. As you discuss each step towards repentance, take off a rock and label it as that step. When you have gone through all the steps, the “burden” should have been lifted from the feather, making it free again.
