A great way I like to start Alma 5 is by going to Alma 4:19. I bring a bottle of Italian dressing to class (not shaken up) and ask them what the ingredients are (Oil, vinegar, and spices). Then I ask it they would put it on their salad as it is (not shaken and separated). Then I ask questions like, “What does the dressing have to do with Alma 4:19? What has to happen for the dressing to be good? How are people like that? What shakes or stirs people up to be good?” The point is that Alma’s people had settled down into their comfortable, easy places with the Gospel. Alma 5 was to wake them up and “stir” them up spiritually. Alma 5 will do the same with us.
Here are a couple of worksheets I have used to teach Alma 5. They work well because they direct the students through almost the whole chapter. As usual, click on the picture to get the worksheets.

Thanks so much for this idea and the worksheet! I am going to use this with our girls for PP this month and am running with the Spiritual Cardiogram theme! I'm going to dress up like a doctor, complete with a stethoscope and scrubs and we will do this activity, then follow up with some cardio exercise and then some heart healthy snacks for refreshments! I am excited for this! Thanks so very much!

I stumbled across your post today while searching for resources to help my YW with Personal Progress (Virtue experience 3). When I clicked on the worksheet image, however, I got a message that the file had been removed. Are you still willing to share it? I would love to use it!
