Primary teacher: Here are ten Starbursts. Now give me one back as tithing. You can give fast offerings, too. How many do you each want to give?
Child One: I’ll give one.
Child Two: I’ll give two.
Child Three: Ill give NINE.
Teacher: That’s wonderful! The Lord blesses us when we sacrifice, so you all get more candy back than you gave. Child Three, you get 18 Starbursts back!

Child Three to friends after church: Don’t give your Starbursts away! This time you won’t get double back!
