Why does our…

I used this to teach how unity strengthens us and dis-unity weakens us. Have a YW take a pencil and break it. Talk about how it was easy to break because it was only one pencil. Then get several pencils (10 or so) and have a YW try to break them. It’s very hard. Talk about how, when we stand together we are strong and hard to break, but when…

[This is] the web game. You need a ball of yarn, a beach ball, and some scissors. Everyone (except one leader) stands in a circle. The game leader ties the yarn around her finger and says something nice about someone else and throws the yarn. The girl who gets the yarn wraps it around her finger or thumb and repeats the process. Continue this until there is a big web…

The best way to describe is just to describe how I used it in Relief Society. I put a cup to represent the RS president under the board and then stood on it (I represented the demands of serving in Relief Society). Of course I crushed it! Then did the same thing with 4 cups to represent the presidency. Again, CRUSH! But then I put a cup to represent each…

We bought inexpensive 24 piece puzzles. We had enough for two people per puzzle. Before we started I took out one piece from each puzzle. The kids had to put the puzzle together as a team. None of them could complete the puzzle as I had the last piece. I had the pieces in a bowl and then asked for one person per team to come and find their lost…

Offer one or two strands of spaghetti to someone in class and have them try to break it. Obviously it is easy, then offer them a package of spaghetti and have them try to break it. Much more difficult, if at all possible. Strength in numbers. This object lesson can also be illustrated with a bundle of sticks. Could also use Alma 48:10 : “And in their weakest fortifications he…
