The kids favorite object lesson was when I lifted up one of the kids (easily). Then I had them all stand up and link arms in a circle. I tried to lift them and I couldn't. I told them that this showed how love and unity could make us stronger. Then I related it to the quote about the redwood tree roots and how when the kids hooked their arms together for strength, it was like the trees linking their roots together for strength. They totally got it and they are only in 3rd grade :)
