Alternate Activity Ideas
Since every class has different needs, we brainstormed a few extra ideas for class activities that might prove useful to you.
CHOICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Analyze Saul’s decision-making process as you read the account in 1 Samuel with the class. Divide the board into “The Lord’s Understanding” and “Saul’s Understanding” and explore in a discussion the consequences of following each.
SMALL AND SIMPLE THINGS
While discussing the Lord’s selection of the boy David as the next King, draw parallels between that calling and others the Lord has extended to those considered by the world’s standard to be “weak” (Moses, Enoch, Joseph Smith). Study Alma 37:6, and prepare questions as guided by the Spirit that can initiate a thought-provoking discussion.
