Honesty - Tangled Web
 

(This is an old contribution from the LDSYW File that I kept but do not know who submitted it)

I taught this lesson and I used the saying, O what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. I had situations typed on cards that might entangle us. Then with each situation that was read I wrapped a long piece of yarn around the girls...

By the end everybody was tangled. I talked about how even little lies and things would help Satan to trap us. I talked about how Christ wants us to be free. Then took the yarn off of them. I also hung a piece of black paper on the board and a white one next to it. I said, "Jesus wants us to know that there is a difference between right and wrong, it is very black and white. Then I hung a gray paper up in between the black and white. Then talked about how Lucifer want us to believe that the gray area is ok too, but it is not. Look at how big the black and gray area has become. This is a tool that he often uses to get us to his side. Thank goodness for repentance!

I used spider gummies in a bag as the hand out. I spread that white Halloween web stuff around on my table with a couple of plastic spiders. On the cards they read, I stamped (or stickers) little spiders on them. It was good, because everyone was involved, The girls like interaction.

The questions were like...
1. You borrowed money out of your mom's purse w/out permission.
2. You cheated on a test at school
3. You lied to the police officer about speeding
4. You told your boss you were sick, so you could go out with your friends.
5. You lied about your age to get into a movie
6. You bought a dress, intending to only wear it once and then return it.
7. You wore your sister's clothes without permission.
8. The store attendant did not charge you enough money, you did not correct them.

I had about 14 cards, each girl read two.
