6- Object Lesson: Oranges
Show the children a basket of oranges. Ask one child to come up and pick one orange from the basket. Tell the child to study the orange very carefully and then put it back in the basket. After the child has put the orange in the basket, ask him to identify which orange is his. Ask him to tell everyone how he could distinguish his orange from the others.
