Lesson:
Optical illusions can be used to teach several lessons.
Here we’re using it to teach two different things the first being that the devil will use tricks or allusions to make you think that something is what it really is not. He can make something appear far better or more glamorous than it really is. Such as he can make drugs, smoking or similar activities look cool but really they are just traps that will end up destroying you.
Another angle you can go with on these is to teach that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. Some optical illusions have hidden objects or things that can only be seen after staring at it for a while. And faith can be like this.
Here are some examples of some neat optical illusions that you can use for your class.
