Oct 6 Activity: Word of Wisdom

We read D&C 89 and discussed the Word of Wisdom - the revelation, the meaning and the application of it. (What, why and how to live it). The girls were given an assignment to complete a log of the food they ate in a day - and then plot it on the paperwork they were given. (When they turn them in, they get a surprise!) We played Pictionary & Hangman and made smoothies. The smoothie comments were: "Too much banana"..... "too much strawberry".... "too much orange juice"....and then not enough of any of those. Hard group to please! Next time we'll try something different. :)

9/1 Activity: T-shirts

We decorated T-shirts (because school just started and I wanted it to just be a FUN activity). Several of the girls passed off *more* Articles of Faith. They are so eager to learn and to show how much they know! Sister H. and I are so proud of them!!

Newest member!

Katelyn was baptized recently and became the newest official member of our Activity Day Girls' group! We love the spirit this pretty girl brings into our group and are happy she is a part of us!

8/18 Activity: Vision Boards

We created vision boards to represent three goals for the coming year. Each girl was asked to choose 3 goals: for home, school & church. Then, they were given a poster board, markers and tons of magazines from which to choose pictures that represented their goals!

Messy but fun! It was great seeing what the girls came up with!

July 7 activity: Scripture totes

Lily is one of the most creative girls I've ever met. She wrote her name then filled in flowers (what else? lilies, of course) around it. She is about to leave us to enter the Young Women program and we're going to miss her! Everything she does has flair!

Lily's sister Rachel apparently also received the artistic gene because she draws better than I ever could! She is shy, but so sweet.

Marie's personality is just like what she colored on her bag: full of sunshine and light!

Meghan is our chatty, happy girl. Also loves crafty things!

Lena, with those cheekbones to die for, is soft-spoken and very kind. Her smiles lights up her face!

The girls were given a Book of Mormon reading chart (to color in as they go along) and we read the introduction together. They each passed off at least one of the Articles of Faith and we discussed the importance of Scripture study. Then, they colored tote bags using fabric markers.

Father's Day activity

We decorated the Bishop's office door, since he is the "father of the ward". The hearts included words that described the bishop and a few letters written to him. A lot of fun! We also created Father's Day cards and photo frames. I'm amazed at the creativity these girls display!

More photos from Friendship activity

These girls are creative! A special thanks to all the adults (including Shailee, home from college) who came to help out!

June 2: Friendship bracelets

We shared a brief lesson on the Giant Redwood trees and how their branches are not very deep, but they extend outward and link themselves to other Redwoods - and likened this to friendship being a network of linked friends. Then we made friendship bracelets. Shannon was enterprising and decided to use her mouth as the "pulling" point for the strings!

Welcome!

As your new Activity Day Leader, I am excited to begin working with each of you (and your parents) to help you complete your Faith in God requirements. We have some fabulous activities coming up and some new programs, including recognition events, birthday celebrations and much, much more.

This website has been created to keep you, your parents & Primary leaders updated on scheduled events and can also be an online scrapbook of things we've done together!

Let's have fun as we learn, create and share with each other!
