5 Things in a Bag

            

This was a fun ‘Get to Know you Activity with some of the new Beehives that had just moved up.  They each handed me their brown bags with their five things and we guessed who each belonged to.  Then they were quizzed on everyone’s five things.  Katie’s five things are on the left.  Mine on the right.  Both were very obvious and guessed in a second.

Minute to Win it Games – A big hit for my Beehive Class

For the Strength of Youth Skit Night – These crazy girls brought props and had to write and act skits with their assigned props for their assigned Church Standards.  A fun night being creative and silly.  Officially Katie’s last Beehive Activity.

Dance Festival – So much fun to watch all our youth participate in this big event.  LOTS more pictures and a post to come.

Ice Blocking – the Traditional Back to School YM/YW Super Activity – August (Chris was working so I took all my kids to join in the fun.  They loved it.)  I love that our Young Women are such good friends.

Individual Worth #3  …Do all you can to build others and make them feel of worth.  Every day for two weeks notice the worthwhile qualities and attributes of others.  Acknowledge them verbally or in writing…

My cute Beehive Presidency came up with this fun idea.  They had to stand by the white board and NOT LOOK while we wrote everything we love about them.  Then I took a picture and gave it to them at the big reveal… the next activity where we decorated notebooks using the pictures.  Fun idea.

#YoungWomeninExcellence – We had a great Young Women in Excellence Night.  We had 8 value tables and had the girls sign up to display one of their Young Women Value Projects or Experiences on a table so they were equally distributed.  Then each one of the girls who had already completed their Personal Progress was in charge of a value table.  The Young Women and their moms were invited and each sat around a different value table and rotated spending 4 minutes at each table learning about that value and getting some ‘take home’ ideas ready to work on their own Personal Progress.  It was such a great idea night and was so fun to see those cute girls share their testimonies and the things they learned working on their projects.  We have great YW!  We started with a song and prayer and then Sam, our Laurel president talked for a minute about our social media theme that we've been talking about in Young Women’s lately.  After being inspired by this talk from David A. Bednar I taught a combined YW lesson about how we can use social media for good.  Then our smart laurels thought we should expand this topic into our Young Women in Excellence night.  Sam gave a powerful testimony about the things we’ve learned from Elder Bednar and about how – just like Social Media – Personal Progress isn’t about something you do but the way we live. She did a great job.   I made invitations to look like an Instagram and then went hashtag happy on the value posters for each table… When the girls walked in the room they picked up a folder to keep all of their ‘take home ideas’ – one for each value  that the Laurels prepared so the girls would have some ideas and Experiences to get started on.  It was a fun night.

Our invitation…

Value posters for each table…

Folder tags… and a Welcome frame…

 

Katie made her display about her Good Works Project and did a great job.
