Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Set trap on table. Have a girl set it off with a pencil. Offer her the stubby one and the long one. The pencil shatters. Next, set trap on floor. Ask for volunteer to walk by it. When YW volunteers, have her take off her shoes and put on a blindfold. (Smart ones refuse; adventurous ones get talked out of it by everyone.)
We must examine closely what our decisions are based on to be sure that Satan isn’t deceiving us by disguising something evil. Having the Holy Ghost with us as all times will help us not to be fooled by his traps. Prepare the apple and the onion like a caramel apple on the sticks. Ask the students to pick which caramel apple they would like to eat. Based on appearances,…

Give every person in the class a piece of paper and pencil and tell that they just found out that they didn’t have much time left and they need to write down their deepest desires for their family member and friend! Things that they wish they could tell them and thing they wanted to be remembered for! This really gets the class thinking! Then after a few minutes without warning…

Write things on the penny squares that are not good or cause us to sink…such as drinking alcohol, swearing, gossiping, ect. On the squares without pennies write things that will help us…such as prayer scripture study, ect. Have the children read the square and then put it in the water. The Squares containing pennies will sink, the others will float.
This was an object lesson I used in my Young Womens Laurel class. I had our Stake Y.W. President who lives in our ward (but you could use the Bishop or someone else) step into class just after it had started. She had 3 gift bags. She gave one to me, one to the advisor and one to the Y.W. secretary, who I had asked to come sit in on…

Place a dollar inside someones Book of Mormon at 1 Nephi 3:7 when they are not looking. Later ask that person to come up to help you and to bring their scriptures. Ask them if they would do something for you right there. Once you have their OK ask them to give you a dollar. Of course they will try leave to find one for you but say “no right…

Get two volunteers. Give each volunteer 10-30 square childrens ABC blocks. (amount depends on what age you are working with, they will be stacking the blocks, so young children will not be able to stack as many) Tell the volunteers that they have an assignment to stack as many blocks as they can. One person will get approx. 10 seconds while the other gets 1 minute (again vary time according…

Our YW lesson was on Time Mangagement. I arranged for our YW President to separate the girls into classes and when it came time for my lesson in the Laurel class, she used her theatrical experience :) and vocally wondered where I was. I was outside the door waiting for her to peek her head out “looking for me”. I then came running into class-with my manual in hand, slippers…

Ask the girls who wants this? They’ll all raise their hands. Then wrinkle the bill up, and ask them again “Who wants it now?”. When they all say, “I don’t care, I still want it!”. Throw it on the floor and rub it with your shoe. When they still want it, ask them if they’d want it if you put it in the toilet. Well, you get the idea. I’ve…

Have a volunteer come to the front of the class. Give them the hard piece of play dough and tell them to shape it into what they want. When they aren’t able to, ask them why (it’s too hard, can’t mold it the way they want…). Give them the soft play dough. Tell them to mold or shape this one the way they want to. When they are done ‘playing’,…

This object lesson works best for senior primary aged kids through adults. Choose a member to help you. I usually always choose a gentleman who looks like he is fairly strong. Hand him one sheet of paper and ask him to rip it in two. Obviously he will be able to accomplish it easily. Then hand him the ream (or several sheets of paper) and ask him to rip the…

Teach your students that sometimes our trials help us. Just like a postage stamp we may be licked, stamped, trodden on etc but as long as we stick to our destination (our Heavenly Father), we will get there in the end. Just like a postage stamp we have to “stick to it” and endure to the end.
