- Materials:A staircase (if none is avaliable you could do this usind a walkway crawn on the floor, of possibly a hallway)
Activity:Have your class stand at the bottom of a staircase and you are at the top. Challenge any one of them to find a way to get to the top of the stairs without touching the stairs or the rails or the walls. Tell them there is a solution. If no one figures it out, then go to the bottom and have someone piggy back on you and carry them up the stairs. The lesson in this could be several different things. Teamwork, service, doing for others what they can't do for themselves, our missions in life are to help and lift others. The other message is the mission of Jesus, how he is the one to carry us up the stairs, we can't do it ourselves. What the atonement is.
- Materials: Popcorn, Large Jar, Ping pong ball
Activity:Fill up a large jar (larger than a quart, if possible) half way up with popcorn. Take a ping pong ball and push it to the bottom of the popcorn. Put the lid on and swirl the jar around. After a few seconds the ping pong ball will rise to the top of the popcorn. After you show this demonstration and let everyone els do it, then discuss what habits and traits a person needs to develop that would help them rise above the temptation and evil in their lives.
