Honestly...Be Honest
For my object lesson this week, I am using the Decorative Spider Webs and the cheesy Plastic Spiders seen all over with Halloween Decorations.
Web=Tangled Web of Lies, Cheating, Stealing, etc.
Spiders=People involved in Dishonesty.
As we discuss actions or situations that are dishonest, I will place plastic spiders in the web. As more and more dishonest acts are discussed, the spiders will have more web pieces wrapped around them until they are tangled in a web of dishonesty.
Update:
For the Handouts, I used Provers 12:22
"Lying Lips are an abomination to the Lord. But they that deal truly are his delight." A tube of Lip Gloss was attached to this Scripture card. (The Lips gloss is 2 for $1 at my favorite, Dollar Tree) You could also get those fun Red Wax Lips as an attachement.
I used a talkon Honesty by Richard C Edgley from October 2006 LDS General Conference. I attached the following quote to a cut out Pumpkin:
"There will never be honesty in the business world, in the schools, in the home, or anyplace else until there is honesty in the heart."
We spent a great deal of the lesson focusing on getting our heart right, how to plant honesty in our hearts, how to have the desire to be honest at all times-especially the times when no one is looking and will ever know which choices we make.
At the bottom of the quote, I printed, Dont Get Caught In a Web of Lies, to tie in with the Web and spiders used.
The Spider Web was very effective. I wrapped it around the spiders 9 times to represent the 9 years it took for a woman to return a wallet she had stolen from Ardeth Kapp (story in the YW Lesson Manual) When we tried to untangle the spiders, it took a great deal of effort and concentration.
