Alma 23-27 The people of Ammon and the Lamanite conversion. Every year I get a ton of lemons from our lemon tree. I literally had a wheelbarrow full of lemons. I had made lemon juice. I had made lemon candy. I had made lemon squares. I still had a ton of leftover lemons, so when I saw lemonites on the LDS Seminary Teacher Group page I just HAD to do it! I know that it's not as spiritual as most lessons, but once in a little while it's nice to do something fun. Here's how we did it. List of supplies: colored feathers pipe cleaners small dixie cups toothpicks small marshmallows adhesive googly eyes (I did not want to use a glue gun) The adhesive googly eyes came in a package that I got at Walmart but here is a link on Amazon. The students had a great time. As the students made the Lemonites I gave the lesson. I really tried to give it the twist of making something sweet out of something sour. I made this handout to go with the lesson. Each student was to write a way that they could make a sour problem into a sweet problem. It's a way of looking at problems as a growth experience for our good. I printed them out on yellow paper. I had the students fill out the lemons with ideas. We put the lemons on our tree of life that I had on our bulletin board. I also served them some lemonade with some lemon squares and even some lemon peel candy Please check out my other Book of Mormon ideas by clicking here.
