Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
First have them write what pressures they deal with in life on the brick. Then they write things they have to help them cope on the legos(prayer, scriptures, temple etc…) Use the legos to build a foundation. Explain that the eggs are like their souls. Put one egg in the foundation and the other in the dish. Then apply the “pressures” or the brick to each. The one in the…

(Elaborating on a story by Wayne Dyer, quoted here.) Have the class, or your family stand up with the goal of jumping as high as they can. Maybe have a goal on the wall or doorway or something to measure how high to jump. In the first situation, no one can bend their knees before they jump – not even a little! So basically you can only go on your…

This lesson is different than any ‘obstacle course’ object lesson, but it has a great point. Often times in life, we place obstacles in our way that really don’t need to be there. Such obstacles include our own weaknesses, sins, pride, grudges, drama, stress, envy- you name it! Other ‘obstacles’ might really not be obstacles at all, but we might choose to make them that way such as daily scripture…

This is a different version of another suggestion in this category. The orginal suggested having 2 people come into the classroom while a class member is blind folded, one known to the person the other a stranger. This suggestion might work better for time constraints, a very small branch or ward where there are rarely strangers or giving a talk in front of a group: I printed up a picture…

Show the children each object individually. An example would be perfume. I spray it in the air and ask them if they can smell it. I bring brownies and ask them if they can taste them. I ring a bell and ask them if they can hear it, etc. Use your imagination. I them explain to them that faith is not something that you can see, taste, smell, touch or…

To demonstrate the proper order to say prayers, you would hold up the first piece of bread and say, “This represents-Dear Heavenly Father”, then while you spread on the peanut butter, you would say,”This represents-We thank Thee…”. Next, spread the jelly and say,” This represents-We ask Thee…”, and last hold up the last piece of bread and say,”This represents-In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.” Whenever I read this I…
