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…

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…

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…

As you start out the lesson let the girls know that you prepared cookies for them and pass them out. Pass out the second batch of cookies, the ones in which you did not measure the ingredients. See if you get any reactions. If they are too polite to say anything you can let them know that there is something unusual about these cookies. After they point it out say…

This is a simple and easy, yet thought provoking object lesson. It can also be applied in many different ways. Start by lighting one of the candles, ask for a volunteer and give them a candle. Then light the other candle from the candle already lit. What did they observe? Did the candle lose any of it’s momentum from sharing it’s flame. No, in fact it shines brighter. Hence, “a…

Have someone tie their string to the pole and see if they can pull the stick off the ground and try to make it stand straight up. Then have some one else tie their string on and see if it works with two people. You can keep adding one by one, or just show how when everyone isn’t working together it won’t get the job done. Tie everyone’s string onto…
