Brief Description/Purpose:
Feeling different kinds of eggs can help us understand the way our testimonies
grow and develop.
Objects Used/Preparation:
Jell-O egg
hard boiled egg
soft boiled egg
raw egg
Lesson:
I found a good way to show differences in your testimony and/or faith was to
use eggs. I make
Jello Jigglers in plastic easter eggs, then
also use a raw egg, a soft boiled egg, and a hard boiled egg. Each of the 4
eggs are placed in separate zip-lock bags. The children then got to feel of
the eggs and test the firmness of each one.
I make the point that all of our testimonies can sometimes be concealed within
an outer shell, and they still need work. The favorite is always the Jell-O
egg. It is a great example of testimony or faith that is based on the
continuous changes in life. It is solid. It is firm. It retains its shape and
identity. Yet it gives a bit and adjusts to changes around it, which may
include guidance from a parent, teacher, or church authority; experiences with
others; revelation; inspiration; etc.
