New School Year NEW TESTAMENT

I split the class in half, sent half upstairs to kitchen.  Both teams had an un-opened box, the 3x5 card, and a plastic knife.  I said they had 3 minutes, and no, I wasn't going to answer any questions. 

TWINKIE TOWER RULES
• Use the Twinkies® and the silverware to create a structure that is at least 3" tall.

• The 3x5 card is to be used only as a measuring device.

• Any Twinkies not used in the structure itself can be placed on the structure.

• At the end of 3 minutes, any Twinkies® supported by the structure and still in their wrapper may be eaten.

• Any Twinkies® that are not supported on the structure or that were used in the building of the structure may not be eaten.

I should have taken pictures.  Both structures were very different looking.  After the first 3 minutes I let them ask questions, helped them understand how to measure with the card edge, and gave them 3 more minutes.

Then asked, "How does this relate to seminary?" 

Reading the directions helps, but being able to ASK clarifying questions helps more.  (Pray for answers and help understanding the scriptures.)
Do-overs are a great blessing. (Repentance!)
Team-work gets results. (edified together, including everyone is important)
Seminary is fun!  (yeah!)
