By following Jesus Christ, we will be able to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again

Jennifer Smith October 24, 2008

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27). “Peter, give me that thumbtack!” The Primary class fell silent, every eye on Peter. He surrendered the thumbtack, protesting, “Jeffrey started it!” Sister Brock glanced at the boy next to Peter. He was sitting quietly with his scriptures open. She turned back to Peter. “Young man,” she scolded, “this is your last warning. I’ll have…

Looking on the inside

Jennifer Smith February 20, 2006

I used a picture of the Savior and took the crayons, mostly darker colors, and colored over the picture so as to distort it and make it just a mess. When finished nobody was able to see the picture. This has to be done prior to the begining of class. During the lesson I asked the girls who would like to have the picture on display in their rooms. I…

Fill a small jar 1/2 full of water and nother 12 full of clorox bleach. Our attitudes and actions do affect the atmosphere of our homes.

Hatred has no place in the Gospel

Jennifer Smith November 18, 2004

Invite the students to deface the picture of the disliked person. (throw darts, cut with a knife, punch nails into, scribble on with marker, etc.) After the students are finished remove the top picture to reveal the defaced picture of Christ or a reflective, mirrored surface (when we treat others unkindly, we destroy ourselves). Scriptures to discuss: Matthew 25:40: “…Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it…

I am in Control of Myself

Jennifer Smith November 18, 2004

Here are some legos and right on front is a picture of what you can build with these. Do I have to build exactly what is here? Can’t I choose to make any design that I can imagine? In fact, there are lots of different choices of really fun things that I can make with just these few blocks. If your friend makes a rude comment or does something mean…

Once it’s out, you can’t put it back

Jennifer Smith September 22, 2004

Demonstrate how easy it is to squeeze out the contents from the can, then pick a volunteer and ask them to try to put the cheese back into the can. Of course it is impossible. Angry, sarcastic words, derogatory names, or mean comments are very easy to say. But it is difficult and maybe impossible to fix the damage done by idle or angry words. You could use any other…

Permanent Damage

Jennifer Smith September 22, 2004

Relate the following story: There once was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. After a while, the boy discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails…

Dirty Business

Jennifer Smith September 22, 2004

If you’re brave and sure not to drip, dip your hands in the mud, offering to smear it on students in the class. Otherwise, show the mud and ask “What would you do if a friend ran up with his arms full of mud? Do you move closer and hold out your arms and accept all that mud? Or do you say, ‘No, thanks. I don’t want that mud.’ ”…
