Nothing brings a lesson to life more vividly and concretely than a good object lesson. This book offers 45 object lessons in a collection that's perfect for both junior and senior high youth groups. You'll find effective no-prep and low-prep object lessons for devotionals, Sunday school lessons, talks at camps and retreat and for sermons and both a topical and scriptural index so you can find the perfect object lesson fast.

Inside you will find lessons about:

• beauty (using a kiwi fruit)
• regret (a mirror)
• divine protection (sun block)
• the power of words (popsicle sticks)
• priorities (manure)
• confession (hydrogen peroxide)
• temptation (a mousetrap)
• the person of Jesus (keys)
• endurance (bricks)
  
  

You may not like it that students forgot your talk on temptation, but remembered your mouse-trap object lesson . . . . . . but the fact remains that nothing brings a lesson to life more vividly and concretely--or wakes up a drowsy Sunday school class faster--than a good object lesson. In Everyday Object Lessons for Youth Groups the authors (who are youth workers and teachers of youth workers) pool their most effective 45 object lessons into a collection that's perfect for both junior and senior high youth groups. Here are no-prep and low-prep object lessons for devotionals, Sunday school lessons, talks at camps and retreats--even for sermons. Inside you'll find object lessons about-- Beauty (using a kiwi fruit) Regret (a mirror) Divine protection (sun block) Anger (Alka-Seltzer and 7-Up) The power of words (Popsicle sticks) Priorities (manure) Confession (hydrogen peroxide) Temptation (a mousetrap) The person of Jesus (keys) Conformity (Play-Doh) Endurance (bricks) --and 34 more quirky and attention-getting object lessons. Use them to open your lessons . . . to dramatize your talks . . . to close your Bible studies with a demonstration. However you use them, you have Bible references and provocative discussion-starting questions with each object lesson to help you take it in any direction you want. And with both a topical and a scriptural index, you can find the perfect object lesson fast.
