Tonight we took our lesson from HERE.
To begin, we assessed understanding and had a great family discussion by asking these two questions:
1. What is sin?
2. What is repentance?
Then we divided our family into three groups. Each group was given a piece of paper and a pen. On one side of the paper they were to write: Sin is like and on the other side they were to write Repemtance is like.
These six objects were placed on a table so each member of the family could see them. We were instructed to discuss in our groups what item would be placed under which list and why. The objects were:
1. Soap
2. A pair of scissors
3. A bottle of oil
4. A lighter
5. Ice
6. Neosporine
After group discussion we shared what we learned as a family. WOW! I was impressed with some of the things my children came up with. And what we found was that most of those items could represent either sin or repentance.
In the end we were able to testify of the purifying power of the Atonement that allows each of us to repent from sin and be cleaned.
I like that your family can divide into groups -- not just 2 teams.
