BACK TO SCHOOL

Contributed by: joan.merrell@gmail.com (8/8/08)
 
several years ago I took ideas from your site and expanded to be more spiritual/useful -- we put all of each item in a bag with scripture references stapled to the closed top. The girls (alternated between two teams since we had a large class) had to first look up the scriptures, tell how they could apply to going to school, then guess what was in the bag -- for each item -- they had a lot of fun and really started relating the scriptures to their lives. We included a tiny printout of the items and their meaning to tape into the lid to remind them (we found 3 or 4" x 4" x1"small plastic containers at the dollar store, going to someplace like Staples when they have pencil cases for a penny would be even better)
