“Level 2 Lesson Plan: The Prodigal Son” is a new lesson plan in the parents and teachers section. This 45- to 60-minute lesson plan is to fill out the post “The Parables of Jesus: The Prodigal Son.” (It can also be broken into two or more smaller sessions.) It goes with the lesson objectives:

• “Study more of the parables that Jesus taught and their meaning” (Christian Life and Faith: Biblical and Christian Foundation: Jesus, God’s Son-2b);
• “Be able to describe the importance and benefits of friendships; identify the variety of relationships that are present in life, and how each friendship affects one’s life” (Character Building: Social Skills: Friendship-2a);
• “Learn how to recognize the difference between acting in pride and in humility, and how to work toward making one’s reactions humble” (Character Building: Values and Virtues: Humility-2f).
